Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a large pot filled with cold water, and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender. Drain and let them sit for 5 minutes to dry slightly.
In a bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Stir in the olive oil, unsalted butter, black pepper, garlic powder, ground nutmeg, egg yolk, and chopped parsley. Mix well to combine.
Allow the potato mixture to cool for about 10 minutes, then shape it into small logs or balls for the croquettes.
Prepare a dredging station: place the flour in one shallow dish, beat the two eggs in a second dish, and place the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
Gently roll each shaped croquette in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all croquettes are prepared.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. The oil should be around 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Carefully place the croquettes into the hot oil, ensuring they have enough space to fry evenly. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the croquettes from the oil and allow them to drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Serve the croquettes warm as a side or appetizer. Enjoy your low sodium treat!
