  make your mash

  Peel potatoes then chop into even-sized pieces and place into a pan of cold water. Bring to the boil then simmer for 16-18 minutes until soft. Mash the potatoes then add butter, egg yolk, salt & pepper and mix well to form a firm mash. Chill for 1 hour.

• Step 4 of 5

  Create & coat croquettes

  Divide potato mix into golf-ball sized pieces and gently push a small divot down the centre of each piece. Put a spoonful of the fish mix into the middle and shape the potato mix around until you can roll the croquette between both hands. Shape into balls, or the classic croquette shape, then chill for 30 minutes.

  Beat the egg in a bowl then place flour and breadcrumbs onto separate plates. Roll each croquette in flour, then coat in the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs until evenly coated. Place onto a parchment lined baking sheet and chill for an hour to firm up.
