Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot filled with cold water, and bring to a boil.

Step 2

Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them sit for 5 minutes to dry slightly.

Step 3

In a bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the olive oil, unsalted butter, black pepper, garlic powder, ground nutmeg, egg yolk, and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Allow the potato mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, then shape it into small logs or balls for the croquettes.

Step 5

Prepare a dredging station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the two eggs in a second dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.

Step 6

Gently roll each shaped croquette in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all croquettes are prepared.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.

Step 8

Carefully place the croquettes into the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to fry evenly. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 9

Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the croquettes from the oil and allow them to drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 11

Serve the croquettes warm as a side or appetizer. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
