Ingredients
- 1 lb potato
- 3 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C/350 F and lining a baking tray with parchment paper. Add the potatoes and bake for 40-45 minutes, until fully fork tender.
- Meanwhile, make the flax egg by stirring together the ground flaxseed and water and setting aside for 10 minutes.
- Once cool enough to handle, peel the potatoes and mash them using a potato masher or a potato ricer. Now add the flax egg, garlic powder, cumin, and ¼ cup flour. Mix together thoroughly.
- In a different bowl, mix together the rest of the flour and plant based milk to make the batter.
- Dampen your hands slightly, then use them to shape the potato dough into croquette shapes. Dip them in the batter until evenly-coated, followed by the breadcrumbs.
- To bake: spray the croquettes with a little bit of cooking spray and bake at 180 degrees C/350 F for 25 minutes, rotating half way through.
- To fry: heat a layer of olive oil in a frying pan or skillet and fry for around 5-7 minutes, rotating half way through, until crispy and golden.
