Suppose you are having a dish of fried eggs after a manner described
later on in this book. Go still further, and see fit to have some
croquettes also. Do you know just what they should be? If in doubt let
them be of canned sweet corn. Mix with half a can of the corn
two-thirds of its quantity of mashed potatoes, salt and a good
generous bit of melted butter. Then form into croquettes, dip in
beaten egg and crumbs and fry to a fine color in hot fat.
