Potato and Ham Croquettes are a different take on the mince and white potato croquettes.
Golden and crisp on the outside with a soft, fluffy centre.
They are a little fiddly, but kids love that they’re easy to hold and eat without a fork and knife, making them perfect for lunch boxes or after-school snacks.
It’s a great addition to the table for family gatherings, serving as a crowd-pleasing side or festive finger food.
These are great as finger food and take just 5 minutes to cook for each batch!

Not really a fan of sweet potato, I assume I can just substitute potato for this.
