Banana Croquettes - The Southern Lady Cooks

Banana croquettes are considered a salad in most Kentucky homes.  Growing up in Kentucky most people know about banana croquettes.  Pot lucks, church socials, family reunions and holidays usually called for this banana dish served in some form or fashion.  There are so many ways to make banana croquettes but they are all good.  If you have not heard of or tried this treat you are missing out.

Banana Croquettes Simple Ingredients:

Bananas

Eggs

White Vinegar

Sugar

Milk or Cream (I use evaporated milk)

Cornstarch

Peanuts

There are many different variations of this salad. Some people use regular mayonnaise or miracle whip and then roll the banana pieces in peanuts.  I like the cooked dressing.  You can also add peanut butter to the dressing and then roll in nuts or coconut.  Some people use corn flakes instead of the nuts.  They are good however you “fix” them!  I put my peanuts in a plastic bag and crush with the rolling pin.

Some people cut up the bananas which  may be easier if you are preparing this for a larger event. You can make a large bowl of the banana salad instead of smaller pieces.
