Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if desired)
- 2 cups Oil for frying
Directions
Step 1
Peel and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender (about 15 minutes), then drain and let them cool slightly.
Step 2
Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Step 3
Chop the fresh parsley finely and add it to the potato mixture. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 4
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture and form it into a ball with your hands. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Step 5
Roll each potato ball in the breadcrumbs, coating them thoroughly.
Step 6
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato balls in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy on all sides (about 5 minutes).
Step 7
Once cooked, remove the potato balls from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy your Vegan Crispy Potato Balls!
