Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potatoes
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 60 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 100 grams vegan breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly-sized chunks. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and mash until smooth and lump-free.
Add nutritional yeast, cornstarch, almond milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Fold in the chopped fresh parsley and mix until evenly distributed throughout the potato mixture.
Form the potato mixture into small logs or patties, depending on your preference.
Pour the vegan breadcrumbs onto a plate. Roll each croquette in the breadcrumbs until fully coated.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the croquettes, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the croquettes for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the Vegan Potato Croquettes warm, garnished with extra chopped parsley if desired.
