$ 34.95
Potato Croquettes, Ready for Your Table
Potato croquettes, called crocchette di patate in Italian, have a soft potato center and a crisp, golden breadcrumb coating. Frank and Sal prepares them fresh, then ships them frozen in a 20-piece pack, ready to reheat for an appetizer or side dish.
Break through that golden crust and you get the soft potato center that makes these an Italian comfort-food favorite. Put a platter out before Sunday dinner, serve them beside chicken or steak, or add them to your holiday spread. We handle the preparation; you bring them to the table hot.

How to Reheat Frozen Potato Croquettes
Oven reheating guide: Reheat from frozen in a preheated 375°F oven until the center reaches 165°F.
- Remove all packaging and place the croquettes in a single layer on a lightly oiled baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Bake uncovered, turning once during reheating. Check the center with a food thermometer; the outside can brown before the middle is hot.
- Continue heating until the center reaches 165°F. If the coating browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil while the center finishes heating.
- Let stand briefly before serving, as the filling will be hot.
Heating time varies with your oven, the size of the croquettes and how many you reheat. Follow any product-specific directions supplied with your order. Heat only the portion you need and keep the rest frozen.
Storage When Your Order Arrives
Place frozen croquettes in the freezer promptly. If you choose to thaw them first, use the refrigerator, never the kitchen counter, and reheat within 3–4 days. Refrigerated croquettes will heat faster than frozen ones.
A Side Dish Worth Making Room For
Serve them alongside chicken cutlets, a roast, grilled sausage or seafood. For an appetizer, arrange them on a platter with warm marinara on the side for dipping. They also make a satisfying addition to a simple dinner of salad and vegetables.
For a mixed Italian appetizer platter, pair the croquettes with our Classic Cheese Rice Balls, Prosciutto Rice Balls or Spinach Rice Balls. Each rice-ball pack contains 24 mini arancini. Serve a little of each with warm marinara on the side so guests can try different flavors.
Potato Croquettes: Your Questions Answered
Do I need to make or shape the croquettes?
No. They arrive prepared and frozen. Simply reheat using the oven guide above and serve hot.
Do the croquettes arrive fresh or frozen?
They are freshly made and shipped frozen. Keep them frozen until needed, and reheat only as many as you plan to serve.
Are potato croquettes the same as rice balls?
No. Potato croquettes have a potato-based center. Italian rice balls, also called arancini, are made with rice. Both can be served as appetizers or as part of an Italian meal.
Twenty croquettes. A little crunch, a soft center, and one less thing to prepare for dinner.
