Potato Croquettes

[sherrardk]

I am going to make some of these next week, with a ham and cheese centre (yes, next thing you know I will be wasting my time stuffing mushrooms). When the recipe calls for breadcrumbs, does it mean those dried out things or actually crumbed proper bread? (And if it's crumbed bread how do you do it without a food processor?) Thanks.

I'm going to save it to my bookmark thing.

You can make them with white bread. Use the same oven method and they are not too dissimilar to (from? never sure about the grammar here) the ones you buy in the shop. Make sure you do not overcook them. Do not freeze them afterwards. If you bag them up and suck all the air out (being careful not to get a lungful of breadcrumbs) they will keep for ages. Good luck, and you do know to roll them in flour and egg before rolling in the breadcrumbs??. They sound yummy by the way.

I used dried cous cous instead of breadcrumbs on fish cakes once, they were lovely, all crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle.

they may sell fresh bread crums in your local baker much easier if you don't want to mess with a grater, processor or sieve
