Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Peel and chop the potatoes, then boil in salted water until fork-tender (20 minutes). Drain and let sit to evaporate moisture.
  2. Mash the drained potatoes until smooth, mix in flour, vegan butter, garlic powder, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside to cool.
  3. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Prepare three shallow bowls: one with plant milk, one with flour, and one with breadcrumbs.
  4. Scoop about 28 grams of the mixture to shape croquettes (2-3 inches long). Aim for around 30 croquettes and place on a lined baking sheet.
  5. Coat each croquette with flour, then plant milk, and finally breadcrumbs, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Arrange coated croquettes on a baking sheet, spritz with cooking spray, and bake for about 20 minutes, turning halfway.
  7. Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and serve with dipping sauce.
