  1. For coleslaw, combine all ingredients in a large bowl.

  3. For the croquettes, combine potatoes, chives and butter. Season to taste. Shape about 5 tablespoons of mixture around each halved ENTERPRISE Smoked Viennas into 10-centimetre logs.
  4. Place flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, whisk egg and water to make an egg wash. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
