1
Wash and peel the potatoes, cut them into 3cm / 1½in pieces.
2
Add enough water to just cover them in a medium size pan, add 4g / ½tsp of salt, bring them to a steady low boil, get the lid on the pan and set your timer for 20 minutes.
3
Once the time is up on the potatoes, thoroughly drain them, season with salt and white pepper, mash them until nice and fluffy.
4
Add the cheese, onion, chives and garlic, give those a good mix in.
5
Add the flour to the pan and give it a quick mix.
6
Turn the mixture out onto a lightly floured bench, (make sure it is cool enough to handle) and with gloved hands give it a quick knead.
7
Divide the mixture into 12 pieces, form them into the croquette shapes (see the video) and get them onto a lightly oiled plate.
8
Get them into the freezer, for at least 6 hours, check after 1 hour, to make sure they are not sticking to the plate.
9
Ready three containers with, seasoned flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
10
Get a frying pan with 1cm of cooking oil on a low heat and bring the temperature up to 160°C / 320°F
11
Cook them from frozen, coat the croquettes 1st in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, repeat this again so they have a double coating.
12
Carefully get them into the pan, do this in 3 or 4 batches, do not overcrowd the pan.
13
Cook these very slowly, it should take 12 to 15 minutes to fry each batch.
14
If the heat is too high the internal temperature will cause the filling to Ooze out, so for best results, cook low and slow.
15
Once done, serve piping hot straight from the pan.
16
Enjoy.
