I love croquettes because they make such a versatile, not to mention tasty, appetizer. I make them two ways: sometimes with a white sauce and other times with potato. These ham croquettes are creamy inside and crispy outside. Plus, they’re budget-friendly and ideal for freezing so the next time company comes over unannounced, you’ll have something flavorful to cook up in a pinch!
