Croquettes de Patates

Croquettes de Patates. The “patate” in question does not belong to the potato family. It is tropaolum tuberosum, the tubers being larger than those of the ordinary potato, bright yellow with streaks of reddish purple running from the eyes. They are slightly sweet and highly nutritious. Several varieties of it are grown in the West Indies. The croquettes are made from boiled patates rubbe
