These vegetable potato croquettes are deliciously baked or fried. I tried them both ways and loved them equally…

Ingredients   [ For 4 to 5 people ]    [   Preparation time : 22 minute  –  Cooking time : 25 minutes  ]

• One 1.5lb bag The Little Potato Company’s Baby Boomers
• ¼ cup unsweetened plant milk (almond, soy, etc.)
• 2 tsp vegan butter
• ¾ tsp salt

• 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 carrot, peeled and grated
• ¼ red onion, finely chopped
• 2 stalks green onion, finely sliced
• 2 large mushrooms, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup baby spinach (lightly packed), finely chopped
• ⅛ cup broccoli florets, finely chopped
• ⅛ cup red bell pepper, finely chopped
• 2-3 tsp vegetable oil
• pinch salt

• ½ cup flour
• 1 cup unsweetened plant milk
• pinch salt
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1.5 cups whole wheat or white panko breadcrumbs

Preparation Method

1. Boil potatoes for approx. 18 minutes, until they feel tender when poked with a fork. Drain potatoes and mash with ¼ cup unsweetened plant milk, 2 tsp vegan butter, and ¾ tsp salt. Set aside.

1. Heat 2-3 tsp vegan butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet.
2. Add garlic, onion, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add spinach and green onion. Sauté until tender. Season with a pinch of salt (about ⅛-1/4 tsp).
4. Mash vegetables into potato mixture. Refrigerate mixture until cool enough to handle.

1. Measure out approx. 2 tbsp of potato mixture, roll it into a ball and flatten into a ¾” patty.
2. Arrange patties on parchment paper. Makes 14-18 patties.
3. Chill or freeze so that patties are firm before breading.
4. Gather 3 bowls or shallow dishes.
5. Fill the first with ½ cup flour, the second with a well-blended mixture of unsweetened plant milk, cornstarch and salt, and the third with panko breadcrumbs.
6. Dip each patty briefly into flour, followed by the cornstarch-thickened milk, and then the breadcrumbs.
7. Firmly press the bread crumbs into the patties.

1. Frying: Heat ½” of oil over medium heat. Once the oil is evenly hot, fry patties in batches of 1-5 (depending on the size of oil vat), flipping after about 1-1½ minutes. Each patty should be golden-brown and fully heated within 2½-3 minutes.
2. Notes: Overheating will cause the potato filling to spill out. Make sure oil is hot enough to sufficiently brown the patties in 3 minutes or less or the filling may spill out.
3. Baking: Preheat oven to 450F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Baked breaded croquettes for 10 minutes. Flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy it!!
