Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked and mashed potatoes
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: Set up a breading station with three bowls – one for flour, one for plant-based milk mixed with nutritional yeast, and the third for breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Shape the Schnitzels: Take a portion of the mashed potatoes and shape them into flat, schnitzel-like patties.
- Bread the Schnitzels: Dip each potato patty first into the flour, then into the plant-based milk mixture, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Fry the Schnitzels: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the schnitzels for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve: Transfer the schnitzels onto a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
