Golden Ham Croquettes
Neighbors happened to drop in the first time I made these...they loved them!
I say my hobby's crafting. Actually, though, it's helping my husband with ranch work and running after the kids. We have four of them, from 13 to 9.

Followed the recipe exactly. Chilled in refrigerator for 5 hours.It came out with the consistency of tapioca. The only shape it was going to hold was blob.Salvaged it by adding diced potatoes and cooking it up as a mushy corned beef hash substitute with eggs.I'm sticking with the tried and true recipe from my grandmother's cook book The Basic Cook Book.
I have a finicky family and they love this recipe. It is a great way to use leftover ham.
This was the first time I tried this recipe,my family really like them and they were easy to make.One note,with curry a little goes a long way,so keep that in mind.This recipe is a keeper,Thanks.
I have been making this recipe for years and years. It is actually from an old Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook from 1981. I don't change anything - love it just the way it is.
