Dairy-Free Potato and Cheese Croquettes (Krokiety)

Ingredients

• 2 pounds Potatoes, boiled and mashed
• 1 cup Dairy-free cheese shreds
• 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Dairy-free milk (for dipping)
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

1. 1In a large bowl, combine the 2 pounds 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.
2. 2Add the 1 teaspoon of salt and the 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper to the potato mixture and mix everything together thoroughly.
3. 3Shape the potato mixture into small, cylindrical croquettes, about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 6Heat the 1 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, approximately 350°F (175°C).
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 9Serve the dairy-free potato and cheese croquettes warm.
