Georgian Lamb and Potato Croquettes
Georgian Lamb and Potato Croquettes are a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for any occasion. These croquettes are made with a combination of ground lamb, mashed potatoes, and a variety of spices and herbs that give them a unique and flavorful taste.
To make these croquettes, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
To start, mix together the ground lamb, mashed potatoes, onion, garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, black pepper, parsley, and cilantro in a large bowl. Use your hands to mix everything together until well combined.
Next, shape the mixture into small croquettes, about the size of a golf ball. Dip each croquette into the beaten egg, then roll it in the breadcrumbs until it is fully coated.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes to the skillet and fry them until they are golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Once the croquettes are cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

They are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious blend of spices and herbs that give them a unique and flavorful taste.
