Crispy outside, soft and cheesy inside… the kind of easy recipe that turns a simple night into a proper event.
Croquettes started in France 🇫🇷, but they quickly made their way into family kitchens everywhere. For many of us, they became that once in a while treat… the one that meant something special was coming.
When mum fried something, you showed up early.

1 kg potatoes
120 g @dorsognasmallgoods Prosciutto, finely chopped

½ cup breadcrumbs plus extra for coating

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp mixed herbs
Salt and pepper
