Potato Croquettes

What is it?

Cylinders of mashed potato come coated in breadcrumbs, then are shaped and frozen for oven cooking. Inside, the filling is smooth and soft, while the outside bakes to a crisp shell. They’re usually sold as part of McCain’s frozen potato range, alongside chips, wedges, and other oven-ready potato sides. Bake them from frozen, or cook them in an air fryer if the pack gives that option. The format sits between a mash and a side serving, with a pale potato centre and a breaded crust that stays separate from the filling.
