Ingredients

• 500 grams russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 50 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 100 grams all-purpose flour
• 150 grams panko bread crumbs
• 500 milliliters sunflower oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and chop them into large chunks. Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the sautéed onion, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix unsweetened almond milk and cornstarch to form a slurry.

Step 6

Wet your hands with some water and shape the potato mixture into small balls or cylinders, approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Step 7

Dip each croquette into the flour to coat lightly. Next, dip it in the cornstarch slurry, and finally roll it in panko bread crumbs to coat evenly.

Step 8

Heat sunflower oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

Step 9

Fry the croquettes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each croquette until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the dairy-free fried potato croquettes hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
