Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups Bread crumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot filled with water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and nutritional yeast. Mash the potatoes until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Allow the mashed potatoes to cool for a few minutes until they are comfortable enough to handle.

Step 4

Shape the mashed potatoes into small logs or balls, each about 2 inches long.

Step 5

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with almond milk, and one with breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Dip each potato log first into the flour, ensuring it is fully coated, then into the almond milk, and finally into the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Fry the croquettes in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot, for about 3-4 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the croquettes hot as an appetizer or side dish with your favorite dipping sauce.
