- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp dill pickles, finely chopped
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- 1
Mix the 2 cups shredded chicken with 1 beaten egg and 0.5 cup breadcrumbs until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.

Shape the mixture into 8 oval croquettes, about 3 inches long. Place them on a plate and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes.

Heat 0.5 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and heated through, about 5-7 minutes per batch.

While the croquettes cook, heat 2 inches of oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry the 4 medium potatoes in batches until golden and crisp, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.

In a small bowl, stir together 0.5 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp chopped pickles, and the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper to make the tartar sauce.
