Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt, plain
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the unsalted butter and mash until smooth.
Mix in the Greek yogurt, green onions, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Let the mixture cool slightly, then shape into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Set up a breading station: beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Place the flour in a second shallow bowl and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
Dredge each potato patty first in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the croquettes in batches, cooking for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot.
