Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons ghee
• 0.5 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the ghee and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.

Step 3

Stir in the almond flour, arrowroot powder, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Add the egg and mix thoroughly to form a uniform dough.

Step 5

Shape the potato mixture into small patties or logs, about 2 inches in length.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Cook each croquette for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.

Step 9

Transfer the cooked croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the croquettes warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
