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]].

I hadn't thought of freezing them - neat idea and tasty.

{{RecipeIngredients
| 3 large [[baking]] [[potatoes]] (Desiree, Estima, Marfona or Vivaldi) if you can get them
| 110 g (4 oz) [[Emmental]] or [[Cheddar cheese]], [[grated]]
| 3 tablespoons [[butter]] or [[olive oil]]
| 2 [[spring onions]], [[chopped on the diagonal]]
| 2 [[egg]], beaten
| 50 g (2 oz) [[plain flour]]
| Bunch of [[parsley leaves]], chopped
| [[Salt]] and [[freshly ground black pepper]]
| Pinch if [[chili powder]] (optional)
| 2 tablespoons [[sesame seeds]]
| 50 g (2 oz) fresh [[breadcrumbs]]
}}
===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| [[Bake]] the [[potatoes]] at 180° C (350° F - Gas 4) for 1 hour or until cooked; allow to cool so they can be handled. Peel and [[mash]] with a [[potato masher]] or [[potato ricer]].
| In a bowl, combine the [[cheese]], [[spring onions]], one of the [[eggs]], [[parsley]], [[salt]] and [[pepper]], [[chili powder]] if using, and [[potatoes]].
| Squish up the mixture with your (clean) hands so it's well combined.
| Pour the [[breadcrumbs]] onto a plate and mix in the [[sesame seeds]].
| Mould the croquettes into shape, a bit bigger than golf-balls, then roll into sausage shapes
| Dredge these in the [[flour]], then in the beaten [[egg]] mixture, then roll then in the [[breadcrumbs]]
| Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set
| Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F - Gas 4)
| Place the croquettes on a non-stick [[baking]] tray and [[bake]] for 35 minutes or until golden brown.
}}
===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.
