Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and mash until smooth.
Step 3
Mix in the Greek yogurt, green onions, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 4
Let the mixture cool slightly, then shape into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Set up a breading station: beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in a second shallow bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
Step 6
Dredge each potato patty first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the croquettes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot.
