My recipe suggests deepfrying for a few mins and then finishing off in the oven (you can freeze them in between). Did you mix egg into the mash before you shape it? This also helps.

Do you mix anything into the potatoes when mashing.
I like to use crème fraiche which holds them together well

And I never deep fry - just do them in the oven

Hi like a previous poster i don t fry them just straight into the oven 190 for 25 mins.Much healthier too.

I also like to mash some cheese and onion into the mash (not so healthy)

when you mash the spuds, add an egg. holds them together. and when you dip in egg and breadcrumbs, do it twice or they will always fall apart. then let them get cold. if you fry them with warm mash, disaster!!!
