Do you have potato croquettes on Xmas Dinner?

[missinglync]

Growing up in the 70s and 80s (in NE England) my family always had potato croquettes (as well as roasties) on our Xmas dinner, and so did my DH's family (in Yorkshire). We didn't have them at any other time of year, so I'm guessing it must have been inspired by a succesful pre-Xmas advertising campaign when they were a relatively new product. We still have them every year now, so we're passing on the tradition to our kids. Anyone else?

Yes, us. The kids insist!

We are in the SE and I’ve never heard of that .

No never heard of this but the more spuds the better (roast and mash).

No I have never heard of this. Some uni friends from Northern places liked roasties and mash with any roast. I thought that was odd!
Just roasties here.
Enjoy your croquettes OP, it's nice to have family traditions.

No that's a new one on me. I do love a croquette though!

We live in SW London now, so I guess we're spreading the tradition geographically. 😁

Yep we have them - Scotland

No Roasties only here.

I'm from NE England and we never had croquettes on Christmas dinner. Loved them, though. Croquettes and potato fritters were my favourite things.

Tbh, I'm still a bit obsessed with potato. Tomorrow I am having roasties, mash and potato Dauphinoise.

Potato Dauphinoise with Christmas dinner 😱
On the one hand just no but on the other how delicious!
Do you also have cauliflower cheese? Or just the one creamy dish?

Why not? It sounds delicious.

No but I'm envious. I love every variety of potato!

No! They're horrible!

I too would like to know if you have cauliflower cheese and dauphinois pots. I’m salivating at the choice of potatoes.

I had a friend once who told me a tale of family that served three different types of mash on special occasions and I think of that often 😂

yes, we couldnt find them yesterday but Dh went to 2 shops this morning and got them its a Christmas Miracle😀

Yep. Only the big supermarkets seem to have them, usually tucked in a corner near the frozen chips.

It's an annoying word, but it's hardly unusual.

No we don't. Roast potatoes only here though I am v find of potatoe dauphinoise so might add them 😋

one of our packets is cheese and potato i am having a mix of 2

No croquettes, although I do like them, but we generally have roast and mash and I have been known to substitute dauphinois for the mash, in the past.
No cauli cheese though. No Yorkshire pudding if it’s turkey we are eating.

No I would never.

we had to get fresh ones.im in scotland and i thought they were the norm everywhere but I guess not.

We're having croquettes along with roasties and dauphinoise 😋
