2. On a half-sheet pan coated with parchment, divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and set aside. Let it sit for 15 minutes.
3. Fill a pie plate with the remaining panko. Dip each round into the panko, being sure to coat all sides.
4. In a 12-inch saute pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the bottom and bring to a shimmering point over medium heat.
5. Cook the croquettes for 2–3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then place over a paper towel-lined half-sheet pan. Let it cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving.
