Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0 for frying Sunflower oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the russet potatoes into even-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

Let the mashed potato mixture cool to room temperature, then form it into small oblong croquette shapes, about 2 inches in length.

Step 5

Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: place flour in the first dish, almond milk in the second dish, and breadcrumbs in the third dish.

Step 6

Gently roll each croquette in the flour, dip it in almond milk, and then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each croquette is fully coated with breadcrumbs for a crispy texture.

Step 7

Heat enough sunflower oil in a large skillet over medium heat to cover the croquettes halfway. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the croquettes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the croquettes from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped parsley if desired.
