Krokety have always been a fancy kind of way of serving potatoes in the Czech Republic. If you go to the restaurant there you either get french fries or croquettes as a side dish. I have never seen them served here in the US but maybe that’s because I don’t know their correct name in English? Either way, I found this extra easy recipe for making them at home and can’t wait to try them.

The way this is written I can not tell if you use sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes. Can you tell me which one it is, please.
My mom used leftover mashed potatoes with some sauteed chopped onion mixed in. She dusted the patties with flour and fried. Very good.
I think krokety are known in the U.S. as hush puppies.
Hi Terry, you would use regular potatoes, not sweet potatoes
Mariko, do hush puppies have all those ingredients in them? I thought they were just ground up potatoes formed in balls.
There are no potatoes in hush puppies.
Hush Puppies Recipe
6 cups peanut oil
1 1/2 cups self-rising cornmeal
1/2 cup self-rising flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, lightly beaten
Using a deep pot, preheat oil for frying to 350 degrees F.
Using a mixing bowl, stir together the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the onion. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk and egg. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until blended. Drop the batter, 1 teaspoon at a time, into the oil. Dip the spoon in a glass of water after each hushpuppy is dropped in the oil. Fry until golden brown, turning the hushpuppies during the cooking process.
Oh, OK, thanks for the recipe. Now I will have to make both! 🙂
