Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 2 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the Russet potatoes into evenly sized chunks.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until they are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the butter, salt, and black pepper. Mash the potatoes until smooth and allow them to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Reserve about 3 tablespoons of beaten egg in a separate bowl for coating.

Step 5

Mix the remaining beaten eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley into the mashed potatoes until everything is well combined.

Step 6

Form the potato mixture into small cylindrical shapes, about 3 inches long.

Step 7

Prepare a dipping station with the reserved beaten egg in one bowl and gluten-free breadcrumbs in another.

Step 8

Dip each potato croquette into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the gluten-free breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of potato mixture in it, and it should sizzle.

Step 10

Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry them until golden brown and crisp on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 11

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried croquettes to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 12

Serve the croquettes hot as a delightful side dish or appetizer. Enjoy!
