Ingredients

• 400 grams Reduced-carb potatoes
• 150 grams Cooked ham
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 Large eggs
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 clove Minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cut the reduced-carb potatoes into small, uniform pieces. Place them in a pot of boiling salted water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the unsalted butter, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.

Step 3

Dice the cooked ham into small cubes.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, diced ham, almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add one egg to the potato mixture and incorporate thoroughly.

Step 6

Shape the potato mixture into small, cylindrical croquettes, approximately 2 inches in length and 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

Beat the remaining egg in a shallow bowl. Roll each croquette in the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Carefully place the croquettes in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd, and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.

Step 10

Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the croquettes warm, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
