Making Potato Croquettes

Fluffy inside, and crisp outside, croquettes are a lovely way of using up leftover potatoes.

An easy way to divide the croquette mixture into even portions is to make a cake out of the mixture and cut it into even slices. You can then shape each portion to the required shape and size.

Gently toss or roll the croquettes in the flour, and shake off any excess.

Dip the croquettes in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs or almond mixture, shaking off any excess. If the mixture is a little too soft to hold its shape, coat again in egg and breadcrumbs. Refrigerate until ready to cook.
