Ingredients
- 400g canned sweetcorn, drained or corn kernels cut from 3 cooked cobs of corn
- 3 large potatoes, peeled and diced (or the equivalent in cooked or mashed potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons milk (warm)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 onion, diced
- 4 bacon strips, rind removed, diced or 200g ham
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup cheese, grated
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup stuffing mix or seasoned breadcrumbs
- 250ml canola oil
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 white cabbage, sliced thinly
- 1 small carrot, grated
- 1 apple, cored and sliced thinly
Method
- Put potatoes into a saucepan with salted water, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until tender. When cooked, drain well, mash, add the milk, season and place in a large bowl.
- In a fry pan, gently sauté the onion in the oil until soft and translucent. Increase the heat, add the bacon and fry until the bacon is cooked through.
- Add the corn kernels, onion, bacon and grated cheese to the mashed potato. Season and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into eight and with wet hands mould into thick sausage shapes.
- Place the egg and stuffing mix in separate shallow dishes, with a lip. One at a time, dip the croquettes in the egg then roll in the stuffing mix to coat.
- Pour your oil into a frying pan and heat to a medium heat. Cook the croquettes, in batches turning so they are golden brown and crunchy.
- To make the apple slaw, mix the mayonnaise, cabbage, carrot and apple together. Chill until ready to serve.
