Dutch Croquettes (kroketten, Bitterballen)

I’m married to a Dutch guy as you all know! And this one is one my his favorites and mine too! I usually make this in big batch and keep it in the frozen for months!

I hope you all enjoy this recipes as much as I do. Feel free to use chicken or pork if you don’t have veal or beef.
