Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Peel and quarter the russet potatoes. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes well and return them to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth and allow them to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, almond flour, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the potato mixture into small patties or balls, about 2 inches in diameter.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the shaped croquettes in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the croquettes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.
Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the potato croquettes warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions if desired.
