Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and quarter the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Step 2
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, almond flour, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Shape the potato mixture into small patties or balls, about 2 inches in diameter.
Step 5
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the shaped croquettes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the potato croquettes warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
