I'd never have called those things croquettes.

Something that looks good and also looks like mashed potato croquettes to
me.

Terminology varies then. This is what I'd call a (prefab) potato
croquette:

And this type of "15% meat" croquette is very popular in the snackbars
that I remember:

I suppose, but this is what I call a mashed potato croquette.

The shape's different but the idea's the same: it's closed all around.

These croquettes have been browned on two sides. The third side has
yet to be turned over to brown. This is how my mother taught me to

The main difference appears to be that the ones you linked to are deep-fried
and hers were pan-fried. Is deep frying a requirement for croquettes?
Wikipedia seems to think so.

I know croquettes as ranging from French and fancy to a popular
snackbar product. When I was a kid, there was no better treat than
fries with mayo and a croquette. But in all cases they were deepfried.

What a coincidence that one of those pictures is of Jill eating a
croquette:
<https://comps.canstockphoto.com/elderly-lady-eating-stock-photo_csp3437012.jpg>

They look very tasty, but I thought croquettes of any kind should be deep fried, so would
be crispy all around, and would be shaped like a short, very thick around, cone or oval
shape.

But potatoes are potatoes, and I eat them in any shape. Thanks for sharing! ;-))
