Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 180°C/350°F and roast the potatoes for 1 hour.
In the meantime make the crusts. Place half of the bread in a food processor/blender with the paprika and blend until red crumbs are formed.
Repeat this step with the remaining bread and the chives until green crumbs are formed.
Spread the two crust mixtures on a baking tray and place in the oven with the potatoes for 10 minutes to dry out. Remove and set aside.
Allow the potatoes to cool slightly, remove their skins and using a potato masher, mash them with the butter and cream and season well with salt.
Shape the mashed potato into a 3.5cm thick roll and cut into individual croquettes.
Roll half the croquettes in the red crumbs and the other half in the green crumbs.
Place on a baking tray and bake for 10-15 minutes at 160oC/320oF. Serve warm.
