Potato Croquettes are delicious appetizers, canapes and a side dish. I like to mix in cheddar cheese for that extra flavour and soft texture. All of this in encased in a lovely breadcrumb coating making these hard to beat. Add a piece of bacon on the top and you have the finishing touch. If you are serving these as a canape don’t forget the cocktail sticks.

A lovely soft cheesy potato side dish to accompany a main course or add a third of a fried rasher to the top and secure with a cocktail stick.
