Method

Combine ham, mashed potato, parsley, chilli, and gherkins in a bowl and season.

Mould the mixture into cylinders approximately 7.5cm long.

Coat each cylinder in flour, then egg, and finally polenta.

Fry croquettes in vegetable oil until crisp and golden-brown, then drain on paper.

Melt butter in a pan and stir in the flour for 2-3 minutes.

Gradually whisk in the milk until the sauce is smooth.

Stir in the parsley and lemon juice, then season to taste.

Serve the croquettes drizzled with the prepared sauce.
