Snapper Croquettes

well... one of the wonders of cooking is that i could add whatever ingredients i want together... made this for dinner awhile ago and my aunts think it was pretty ok but somehow felt something was missing...
Ingredients:

1 snapper fillet
6 medium sized potatoes (if its too much, feel free to change the amount)
1 egg
2 dried chilli (amount own preference)
breadcrumbs
olive oil

Seasoning:

a dash of salt, pepper, cornstarch

Method:

1. Boil potatoes with a tsp of salt
2. In the meanwhile, prepare other ingredients. Beat an egg, thinly slice the red chillis and boil the snapper in another pot for 5mins (or untill fully cooked). Remove and mash it
3. Test the potatoes with a fork, if it enters smoothly, means it is cooked
4. Remove potatoes from pot and cool in ice water. Quickly remove the skin and mashed it while its still hot (you could remove the skin first before boiling, its up to you)
5. Add the snapper, chilli and seasoning into the mashed potato and mix well

6. Heat the wok with olive oil
7. Form balls with the potato mixture. Coat with egg and then the breadcrumbs @@@
8. Fry in the wok till both sides golden brown. Serve hot ***

@@@ leftovers can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator and use the next day... try not to leave it for too long

*** can go with tartar sauce, chilli sauce... up to you
