Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them into a pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the ghee and mash the potatoes until they are smooth and free of lumps.
Stir in the almond flour, arrowroot powder, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg and mix thoroughly to form a uniform dough.
Shape the potato mixture into small patties or logs, about 2 inches in length.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the croquettes in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
Cook each croquette for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Transfer the cooked croquettes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve the croquettes warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
