Ingredients

150g/5oz cooked mashed
potatoes, cooled
75g/3oz cold roast beef (see
pages 48–9), finely chopped
50g/2oz carrot, grated
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1 tsp chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp sun-dried tomato paste
a few drops of Worcestershire sauce
50g/2oz fresh white breadcrumbs
2 tbsp sunflower oil
salt and pepper

Method

Put all of the ingredients (except the oil) in a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, then mix until well combined. Shape into 6 sausage shapes.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the croquettes and fry for 3–4 minutes, turning them until lightly golden all over and heated through.
Alternatively, bake them in an oven preheated to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4 on a greased baking sheet for 12 minutes.
The cooked croquettes can be frozen (once cooled) for up to 3 months. Defrost, then reheat for 10–12 minutes in the oven at 180°C/350°F/Gas 4, or until warmed through.
