Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 large Egg white
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice potatoes into equal-sized chunks. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until very tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and transfer them to a large bowl. Mash them until smooth and allow them to cool slightly.
Add olive oil, egg white, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are completely combined.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Using your hands, shape approximately 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into a small log or oval shape.
Gently roll each croquette in the panko breadcrumbs to coat, pressing lightly for the crumbs to adhere.
Place each coated croquette onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are evenly spaced and not touching.
Lightly spray or brush the tops of the croquettes with a little additional olive oil to enhance browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the croquettes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Cool for a few minutes before serving for the best texture. Serve warm as a tasty side dish or snack.
