- Yes they can be baked, bake at 400F (200C) for about 20 minutes.
- Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. They can be re-heated in a low oven or in the microwave. They will keep for 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Potato croquettes can be frozen either already cooked or uncooked. Freeze them cooked and cooled in a freezer safe bag or container. When freezing uncooked, freeze them on a cookie sheet until firm then move to a freezer safe container. Let thaw in the fridge, then dredge in the flour and cook. They will keep for up to 1 month in the freezer.
