I had some left over potatoes (just enough for 3 croquettes). I did not have any cream cheese in the house so I added some cheddar and then added 1 egg to the potato mixture. With the egg added to the mixture they were moist enough to pick up the cornflake crumbs with out further dipping. Placed the patties in the fridge for 1 hour. Baked them according to instructions and they were wonderful. I apologize for the changes but I did not think that there were enough changes to warrant a new recipe.
