Tuna-Potato Croquettes

These are super easy and quick. The recipe calls for frozen hash browns (Yuck!), I got out the grater and made my own hash browns (pan fry shredded potatoes with a little salt, pepper and olive oil for about 12 minutes). I also added in some chives and lemon zest to the ingredients. Serve these with a sour cream chive sauce and you should be all set.
