Ingredients
Scale
4 medium potatoes (about 1.5 pounds)
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Fresh herbs (optional, like parsley or dill)
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling and dicing your potatoes into roughly equal-sized chunks to ensure even cooking. Boil them in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Mix It Up: Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash them until smooth, and then let them cool a bit.
Sauté Other Veggies: In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, stirring until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Combine: Fold the sautéed onion and garlic into the mashed potatoes, mixing thoroughly. Add paprika, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or nutritional yeast. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Form Croquettes: Shape the potato mixture into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Roll them in breadcrumbs if you like them crispy.
Fry Time: Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
Drain: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and let cool for a few minutes.
