Potato Croquettes Baked and Gluten-Free
This recipe has several advantages over the traditional version: Instead of cooking and frying the potatoes - we double bake them. Moreover, cornflakes crumbs replace the wheat bread crumbs, and so we get a healthy, nutritious gluten-free dish!Serve with Almond Sour Cream or as a side dish.
Equipment
Ingredients
13 - 15 Croquettes
- 500 gram potatoes, red skin if possible 2-3 potatoes
- 1½ tsp tapioca starch
- ¼ tsp garlic powder

For Serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius
- Bake the potatoes whole with the skin until softened (an hour to hour and a quarter); The potatoes are ready when a wooden skewer or fork penetrates them easily. After about half an hour, turn the potatoes over and continue baking for about 30 minutes more.
- Remove from the oven (do not turn off the oven - we will use it again soon). Let cool for a few minutes, cut each potato, lengthwise, into four parts. Transfer to a bowl (with the skin), mash with a potato masher. The skin will separate by itself. Scrap the skin with a spoon until it's clean of the pulp.**
- Add tapioca and spices and mix/knead the mixture well (by no means don't use a food processor - it will yield a sticky, dense mixture. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Form croquettes about 4 cm by 2.5 cm, dip in the cornflakes crumbs, so they are coated on all sides, and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
- Spray with oil and place in the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden.
- Using tongs, turn the croquettes over and spray again with olive oil; bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden. Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes to set the croquettes.
- Serve with Almond Sour Cream or as a side dish.
Notes
