Method

Boil whole unpeeled potatoes for 35 minutes until tender. Cool for 15 minutes, peel and pass through a potato ricer.
Peel the prawns leaving tail tips and remove the dark vein. Keep chilled.
Crush garlic, parsley and salt in a mortar. Mix into the mashed potato.
Divide the potato into 16 portions. Wrap one prawn in each, leaving only the tail outside.
Coat in flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Fry in oil in batches at 170°C for about 5 minutes, turning, until golden and the prawn is opaque and cooked through. Drain on kitchen paper.
Heat the tomato sauce and serve four croquettes per person.
