Pulled Pork Croquettes

If you’ve got leftover pulled pork, these pulled pork croquettes are a game-changer. Crispy on the outside, rich and flavourful on the inside, they’re the perfect way to turn leftovers into something special. I mix the pork with a creamy, well-seasoned mash potato, roll them in crumbs, and fry them until golden brown. The result? A crunchy, savoury bite that’s great as a snack, or even a meal if you pair them with a fresh salad or dipping sauce. They never last long in my house—once you try them, you’ll see why!
