Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup non-dairy milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into large chunks. Place them in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Cook the potatoes for 15 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them cool slightly.

Step 3

Mash the potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add the nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until combined.

Step 4

Form the mashed potato mixture into small logs, about 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter. Set aside on a plate or baking sheet.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place the flour in the first bowl, non-dairy milk in the second bowl, and breadcrumbs in the third bowl.

Step 6

Roll each potato log first into the flour, then dip into the non-dairy milk, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure an even coating all around.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.

Step 8

Carefully add the breaded croquettes to the pan in batches, making sure not to overcrowd.

Step 9

Cook each croquette for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove the croquettes from the pan and let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the vegan fried potato croquettes warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
