Also known as Potato Croquettes, this version was adapted from Modern Cooking for Private Families and then published in The Great Victorian Cookbook by John Midgley, published in 1995…My mother used to make different types of croquettes when I was little, no doubt to stretch the meat for our large family…Decades have passed and the original recipes are long gone, but this one looks very much like one of hers…I’d like to surprise her one day with this old standby, so I’m placing it here for safekeeping!
Rissole (ris sow lay) In this recipe you boil potatoes, mash and chill then you add butter, egg yolks and Swiss cheese, mix and chill. After chilling shape into sausage rolls and coat in flour and dip in egg wash and then in soft bread crumbs; chill again and then deep fry until golden. These potatoes are crunchy crisp on the outside yet soft and tender on the inside. A sprinkling of parsley flakes creates an interesting eye appealing touch. It is preferred to use mealy potatoes such as Idaho, Maine and Long Island varieties.

This is another recipe that I found in the recipe book that bought the other day. It looks so good in the picture and I’ll make them one day soon. It would be nice to have with nice and warm soup.
Served warm with soup these rolls will become a regular! Wrap dampers in a clean tea towel to keep them warm for up to 30 minutes. You could replace the pepper with sea salt and rosemary, and the camembert with grated tasty cheese.
