Instructions
- 1In a large bowl, combine the about 910 g of boiled and mashed potatoes with the 1 cup of dairy-free cheese shreds, the 0.5 medium onion finely chopped, and the 2 cloves of garlic minced.
- 2Add the 1 teaspoon of salt and the 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the potato mixture and mix everything together thoroughly.
- 3Shape the potato mixture into small, cylindrical croquettes, about 5 cm long and about 2.5 cm thick.
- 4Prepare three shallow dishes: one with the 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, one with the 0.5 cup of dairy-free milk, and one with the 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
- 5Coat each croquette by first rolling it in the 0.5 cup of all-purpose flour, then dipping it in the 0.5 cup of dairy-free milk, and finally coating it evenly with the 1 cup of breadcrumbs.
- 6Heat the 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, approximately 175°C.
- 7Carefully place the breaded croquettes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the skillet, and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- 8Remove the fried croquettes from the skillet using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- 9Serve the dairy-free potato and cheese croquettes warm.
