Green Day Potato Croquettes

[Annie68]

Shape cold mashed potato into croquette shapes, dip into a beaten egg and then roll in couscous. Spray with frylight and oven bake till golden.

NB: Free on a green day depending what cous cous you use...

Syn it if the flavoured couscous you use isn't free

Sounds yummy - I think I might make some tonight. What oven temperature do you use and for how long?

About 180 for about 25-30 mins, depends how crunchy you like them. Enjoy. xxx

do you use the instant mash or normal potatoes mashed?

oohyummy thank you

 

[Minders]

Is the cous cous dried? Or is it ready to eat (i.e. made up with water)?

 

[mechmanuk]

i did some the other day with instant mash and a packet of sun-dried med couscous (hot water added for 5 mins) and they were very nice.
Im going to experiment now with maybe part boiled sliced potatoes and another idea i have is to use the couscous and blended quorn sausage and make up some scotch eggs instead of using that horrible bran stuff yuk.?

 

[Principessa N]

do you think they would freeze well? If i made them and couscoused them and then whacked them in a freezer. Might be worth experimenting with them.

 

[mechmanuk]

i havent a clue sorry, maybe someone can answer this as it would be handy to know?

I made these today and HAD to write a thank you. Delicious! My husband loved them, and he didn't even realise they were healthy and therefore required a comment. Hoorah! Thanks.

Do you cook the couscous first or use it dried?

 

[bluemoon]

Yum Yum, going to try and make these

 

[bluemoon]

Well these were a big hit in my house! DH loved them and even the kids ate them all up they're not big lovers of couscous! So I am now stuffed after 3 quorn sausages croquette potatos and beans
Thanks for the recipe!
