What’s my name…

These are potato croquettes…

…or in Malay, they are called bergedil.

I’m not really a fan as I find them a bit too oily but my daughter, when she was home, loved them and my mum too. So I would buy them occasionally for my mum to enjoy with her lunch.

What I would usually do is to fry them again on a non-stick pan. The excess oil would seep out and besides, this would give the croquettes a nicer golden colour. Then I would let them rest on some kitchen towels and press them with the same – this would further reduce the oil in them.

There are two types available at my regular Bandong stall in the morning – the plain ones, which are bigger…

…and the ones with meat (chicken)…

which are a bit smaller.

Both are priced at RM1.00 for 3 and personally, I find the ones with meat tastier and thus nicer. Which would you prefer?
