Baked Cheesy Potato Croquettes are a delightful twist on a classic comfort food, perfect for a cosy evening in or as an impressive side dish at gatherings. Made from creamy mashed potatoes blended with a rich mix of cheese—think mature cheddar for a sharp kick and mozzarella for that lovely, gooey texture—these croquettes are coated in a crunchy breadcrumb crust to give each bite a satisfying crunch.
To prepare, simply mould the cheesy potato mixture into bite-sized balls or oblong shapes, then dip in beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs for that irresistible crispy finish. Bake them in the oven until golden brown, allowing the aromas to fill your kitchen and entice everyone to gather around. Serve them hot with a dollop of tangy chutney or a garlic aioli for a truly scrumptious treat. Perfect as a snack, a side, or even a light meal, these baked croquettes are sure to please both children and adults alike.
