Ingredients

• 3 large Russet potatoes
• 2 Egg whites
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 bottle Olive oil spray

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes using a potato masher or fork until smooth.

Step 3

Add the egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper to the mashed potatoes, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

Stir in the chopped parsley. Allow the mixture to cool for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into small logs or ovals, approximately 2 inches long.

Step 7

Place the breadcrumbs on a plate and roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs to coat evenly.

Step 8

Arrange the coated croquettes on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray each croquette with olive oil spray to help them achieve a golden color.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until the croquettes are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your low-fat potato croquettes as a side dish or appetizer.
