Potato-Pumpkin Croquettes

This was time consuming but tasted pretty awesome. I made them 2 ways: either as...

potato stuffed pumpkin croquettes or...

as pumpkin stuffed potato croquettes.

Not that it made much of a difference taste wise, but I thought it would be pretty cool when you bite thwm in half and could see the two separate coloured layers.

Since I did not want to use additional flour to help make the mashed potato and pumpkin less sticky, I thought that if I left the mashes in the fridge it would them less sticky. And it worked!

These croquettes were made with:

300g pumpkin
150g potato
35g textured soy protein, grounded
thyme ( or any seasoning blend preferred)

-microwave the pumpkin and potato seperatly, DO NOT add water
-mash/blend them seperately and refrigerate for about 1/2 hour or more
-combine the grounded TSP with the thyme and some salt
-remove potato and pumpkin from fridge and season them a little
-make some tiny balls of pumpkin and potatoes ( wetting hands a little helps to minimise sticking)
-then make larger balls, flatten them and wrap them around the tiny balls
-so like tiny potato balls wrapped in larger flattened pumkin ball and vice versa
-dust them in the TSP mixture
-bake at 250degreeC for about 8-10mins and then flip them to brown the other side (please monitor to ensure they do not burn!)
-DEVOUR!
