Preparation method

Preparation of the Croquettes

Preheat the oven to 170 °C (top/bottom heat). Peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes, and cook them in boiling salted water for approx. 15 minutes until soft. Then drain and mash or blend finely until a smooth mixture is formed.

Place the potato mixture in a bowl. Finely grate the Cheddar and mix it with the corn breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt into the potatoes. Depending on the potato variety, add a little more breadcrumbs until a compact dough is formed that can be easily shaped.

Form small balls (approx. 2–2.5 cm diameter) from the dough. Roll each ball thoroughly in sesame seeds and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in the preheated oven at 160–170 °C for approx. 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
