Sainsbury's Potato Croquettes

I'm a big fan of potato and where possible I like to have it as an accompaniment to most meals especially with my Sunday dinner. I'm not to fussed in which form it takes. I like mash, roasted, baked, boiled, waffles and even chips but I came across something the other day which I hadn't had for ages and I really enjoyed them. What was it I hear you all ask???? They were croquettes!!! For those of you who don't know what a croquette is it is basically mashed potato that is rolled into a small cylinder and covered with breadcrumbs and cooked in the oven until the breadcrumbs have turned nice and brown. The croquettes in question were ...  Read the complete review

I love nothing more than skimming the reduced sections of my local Sainsbury's at 6:30PM to see what I can get for the bargain price of 20p or 30p. Well these croquettes were the latest find and promptly were used up for my lunch. The croquettes are quite thick and chunky and I found that three of them, accompanied by two veggie sausages was more than ample for my lunch. Half a packet (3 croquettes) gives 245 calories & 11.5g which while this is quite high it's not bad if I'm having my main meal at lunchtimes (as I sometimes do now).

Sainsbury's Potato Croquettes 907g The product I want to review is the frozen version of Sainsbury's Potato Croquettes which comes in a 907g orange and white recyclable plastic bag. I bought it for £1 only, whereas the fresh potato croquettes are sold for £1.39 for the 250g box. The frozen croquettes are definitely good value for money, especially if you compare them to Waitrose Potato Croquettes (1Kg) £1.99, although Tesco Potato Croquettes (1Kg) £1 is a tiny bit cheaper, considering that the bag is bigger. I think the 907g bag contains more than 24 croquettes, and so you can enjoy a nice side dish for a cheap price. To ...  Read the complete review

Crispy and creamy! Quite the staple of a Sunday lunch, these croquettes are an indulgent bit of comfort food. Whipped creamy Maris Piper potato mash covered in breadcrumb. The outside crisps nicely and the inside stays very hot for ages so be warned, anyone greedily wanting one of these straight from the oven will regret it! I speak from experience! Cook from chilled in 15 minutes at 200 degrees, from frozen 20 mins at the same. Around 500 calories per 250 g pack. Main ingredients potato, cornflour, onion and salt. A no no for anyone intolerant of gluten, milk, wheat, nuts, shellfish or sesame (phew!), the packet states this. It all goes ...  Read the complete review
