From my book Party Confidential Recipe courtesy of Kathleen Sacchi, The Fine Art of Catering.
Ingredients
2 Cup(s) premade macaroni and cheese
1 Cup flour
salt and pepper
2 eggs, beaten
1 Cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 Cup mayonnaise
1 clove of garlic
2 Tsp lemon juice
Canola oil, for deep frying
Directions
Roll macaroni and cheese into bite-sized balls. Dredge balls in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Tap off excess flour and dip in eggs, than panko. Let balls sit for a few minutes to crust.
In a separate bowl, mix together mayo, garlic, and lemon juice to make aioli.
Heat oil in pan until it reaches 375 degrees. Very carefully drop balls into hot oil and fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Serve croquettes on a platter with small bowl of aioli dipping sauce.
