Cheese & Ham Potato Croquettes

Potato, cheese, and ham, covered in a delicious breadcrumb coating. Mmm…. yes, please! This recipe is perfect for leftover mashed potatoes (or as an excuse to make mashed potatoes!), and bite-sized pieces mean it’s an ideal starter for any meal. Every morsel is as creamy and cheesy as the last, so you might want to double this recipe.
What you need
What you need
  • 140g Primula Cheese 'n' Ham
  • 450g cold mashed potato
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 250g breadcrumbs
  • Oil, for deep frying
How you do it
How you do it
  • Line a 20 x 30cm baking tray with baking parchment.
  • Add the tube of Primula Cheese 'n' Ham to the mashed potato and mix thoroughly.
  • Fill a large freezer bag with the potato and cheese mix. Cut a hole in one corner, and pipe long rows of potato on the baking parchment, about 1.5cm wide. Place baking tray in freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, beat the eggs with 2 tbsp of cold water.
  • Put the flour, egg and bread crumbs into separate wide shallow bowls.
  • Remove the baking tray from the freezer, and cut each line of potato into 3cm long pieces.
  • Coat each piece in flour, knocking off any excess. Dip the flour-coated piece into the egg to coat thoroughly, then roll in the breadcrumbs. Work in batches to make this task quicker and easier.
  • Bring your frying oil up to a medium hot temperature, and drop in the potato croquettes. The oil should bubble when each piece is added. Fry, turning as necessary, until golden brown.
  • Serve hot with relish and eat up!
