Cheese and potato croquettes

If what I'm hearing is true and you can't find these in the shops anymore, make your own, it's simple.

Go posh and try with more exotic cheeses such as Camembert or Roquefort. With a sort cheese that won't grate easily, you may be better to mould potato mixture around the cheese rather than mix in with the potatoes.

Chef's tip

The next time you cook jacket potatoes, add a few extra and save them for making this dish. They'll keep in the fridge for a few days.
