Ingredients

• 500 grams potatoes
• 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
• 100 grams vegan breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash until smooth and lump-free.

Step 4

Add nutritional yeast, cornstarch, almond milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and mix until evenly distributed throughout the potato mixture.

Step 6

Form the potato mixture into small logs or patties, depending on your preference.

Step 7

Pour the vegan breadcrumbs onto a plate. Roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Step 8

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the croquettes, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 9

Cook the croquettes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the Vegan Potato Croquettes warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
