- Mash the potatoes to a smooth puree. Season and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 250°C/Gas 8-9
- Cut the cheese into small cubes.
- Shape small balls of mashed potatoes with a cube of cheese in the centre.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish and the beaten egg, salt, and pepper in another.
- Dip the croquettes in the beaten egg, then in the breadcrumbs. Press firmly on all sides so that they stick.
- Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook in the oven for 10 minutes.
