Potato croquettes, fried in blended oil

Potato croquettes are shaped potato products, usually coated in breadcrumbs. The figures here describe croquettes shallow fried in blended oil. They mainly provide carbohydrate and fat: per 100g, they contain 22g of carbohydrate, 13g of fat and 3.7g of protein. Their salt content is 1.1g per 100g.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fat supplies energy and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Frying adds fat, so the cooking method is relevant when comparing these croquettes with potatoes prepared without added oil. The salt content is also worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake. Full nutrient figures, including energy and saturated fat, are in the tables below.
