Ingredients

• 600 grams Russet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 60 grams Chickpea flour
• 120 milliliters Water
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the potatoes are cooking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them thoroughly. Return them to the pot and mash until smooth and lump-free. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg to the mashed potatoes. Stir to combine.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together chickpea flour and water to form a smooth batter.

Step 5

Shape the mashed potato mixture into small balls or cylinders, about 2 inches in length.

Step 6

Dip each croquette into the chickpea flour batter, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in breadcrumbs to thoroughly cover.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep fryer to 175°C (350°F). Gently place the croquettes in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Serve hot and enjoy your dairy-free potato croquettes with your favorite dipping sauce or as a delicious side dish.
