Croquettes - They're the perfect Christmas gravy-train

I’m devoting my entire page to one recipe this week, probably because the recipe is for the single most important food feature on the biggest food day of the year. It’s for potato croquettes.
Making these used to be my responsibility at my parents’ house, but now it’s the bit my brother does, sitting at the kitchen table on Christmas Eve before hitting the local pub. The croquette is my single, most favourite thing on my dinner plate, yes, even beyond the delicious ham or the turkey, which, to me is really only a means to make gravy.
