- Wash the potatoes and put them in a pot, covering them completely with water — no need to peel them. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium and cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Test with a knife or fork: if they're soft when pierced, they're done. 2. While the potatoes cook, prep the rest: rinse the thyme leaves, blot them dry on a paper towel, and chop them finely. Wash the green chilies, pat them dry, remove the seeds, and finely chop. Peel the garlic and grate it on the fine side of a box grater. 3. Once the potatoes are cooked, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Peel the potatoes once they've cooled slightly and grate them on the coarse side of a box grater. Set aside. 4. Heat a dry skillet (no oil) over low heat, add the amaranth seeds, and toast them for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly — they'll pop a bit like tiny popcorn. Transfer them to a ceramic bowl. 5. Add the butter to the pan and immediately add the grated garlic, chopped chilies, and thyme leaves, stirring to combine. 6. Add the grated potato, season with salt and ground black pepper, and stir. Add half the toasted amaranth and mix thoroughly so it's evenly distributed. Let the mixture cool until just warm. 7. Shape the potato mixture into oval croquettes about the size of a lemon. Roll each croquette in the remaining amaranth seeds to coat all over. 8. Grease a baking sheet with vegetable oil and arrange the croquettes on it. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. All done — serve hot. Enjoy!
