Directions

  1. Mix ham, mashed potatoes, green onions, egg, Dijon mustard, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. If mixture is too moist to hold together, mix in an additional 1/4 cup of crumbs.

  2. Place remaining panko crumbs into a shallow bowl.

  3. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the mixture and form into a ball, slightly flatten into a patty. Press both sides of patty into the panko crumbs, tap off any loose crumbs. Repeat with remaining mixture.

  4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until very hot, pan-fry 2 or 3 patties at a time in the hot oil until golden brown on each side, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Recipe Note

Easter ham turns into a perfect combo of pancakes and croquettes for a nice way to use up some of the leftovers. Serve with a honey mustard sauce or any variety of chutneys. Applesauce is also a nice accompaniment.
