Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
Mash the cooked potatoes in a large bowl until smooth. Add the grated carrot, chopped cilantro, green chilies, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, sea salt, black pepper, and almond flour to the potato mixture. Mix everything together until fully incorporated.
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 3 to 4 patties (or as many that will fit without overcrowding the pan) to the skillet.
Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the process with the remaining patties, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the Whole30 Aloo Tiki warm, garnished with additional cilantro, and enjoy!
