Today we will use cassava to make a Colombian recipe quite easy to prepare and, in a short time, the famous cassava croquette. Cassava is part of the cuisine of our country; for a long time, by flavor, it integrates quite a variety of dishes.

Can I make them with filling?
Cassava croquettes usually made of a small and shaped, circular, or oval size. However, over time when it becomes popular and to increase its flavor, sweet fillings such as snack, ripe, or salted plantain pieces have added as cheese, ground beef, chicken, or vegetables.
