As the warmer weather is coming (touch wood it stays), I still like to use my slow cooker for the convenience of it. You can still make delicious meals in the slow cooker even in the summer, with no stews or casseroles in sight.
You can even make slow cooker curried potato, pea and sweetcorn croquettes!
These mild curried potato, pea and sweetcorn croquettes were put together at lunchtime and then cooked away in the slow cooker and were ready for my kids’ early tea time, leaving me able to get on with other things in the afternoon (watering my seeds in the greenhouse and watching the kids play in the garden with a cup of tea by my side today!).
They are very easy to make, you can either use leftover mashed potato for the base of the recipe or microwave a couple of jacket (baked) potatoes and scoop out the flesh, as I did here.
How to Make Croquettes in the Slow Cooker
- Combine cooked potato (flesh from a baked potato or leftover mashed potato), sweetcorn and peas in a bowl. Add spices and season.
- Form into small balls (around 10-15). Dip in beaten egg then breadcrumbs until covered.
- Place the croquettes in the base of a lined slow cooker pot. Cook on high for 3 hours, turning occasionally.
