Steam whole potatoes for about 20 to 40 minutes, adjusting the time according to their size.
Meanwhile, peel, core, and cut the apples into small pieces. Place them in a saucepan with 250ml of water and cook for about 20 minutes, until they are very tender. Mash them using a potato masher or blend. Cover to keep them warm.
Toast the shelled nuts in a pan for a few minutes, stirring regularly to prevent them from burning.
Once the potatoes are well cooked (the tip of a knife should sink in very easily), peel them and mash them in a bowl using a potato masher, with the butter, a pinch of salt, a few turns of the pepper mill, and a pinch of chili powder. Let cool. Cut cubes of blue cheese about 2 cm in diameter.
Cut cubes of blue cheese about 2cm in diameter.
Form about 10 balls with the cooled mashed potatoes. Using your thumb, press a dimple into each ball to insert a cube of cheese, then close it by rolling it back into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mashed potatoes and cheese.
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Pour the flour and breadcrumbs into two other bowls. Season the flour, breadcrumbs, and eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roll each mashed potato ball in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Heat frying oil in a pot, then cook the meatballs for 5 to 8 minutes. Drain them on paper towels and keep them warm.
To finish, serve the croquettes with the warm compote, some toasted nuts, and a bit of young shoots dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and apple cider vinegar.
