Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 0.5 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them with a potato masher until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with coconut flour, one egg, onion powder, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped chives.
Step 5
Shape the potato mixture into small logs or balls, approximately 2 inches in length or diameter, and set them aside on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 6
In a shallow dish, whisk the remaining egg. In another dish, place the almond flour.
Step 7
Dip each potato croquette into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off, and then roll it in the almond flour to coat evenly.
Step 8
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 9
Fry the croquettes in batches, turning occasionally, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve the potato croquettes warm, and enjoy!
