Place potatoes in small stockpot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium high, gently boil until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Drain in a colander. Using a towel to hold potatoes, peel while still hot. Pass potatoes through a potato ricer or a food mill into a large bowl. Heat oven to 450F. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in skillet over medium low heat. Add garlic, onions, red peppers, and celery, saute until vegetables are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add stock, saute 1 minute more. Add vegetable mixture to potatoes along with milk, thyme, salt and black and cayenne peppers. Form 1/3 cup mixture into 3 inch round cake, transfer to plate. Repeat, making cakes with remaining mixture. In a shallow dish, whisk egg whites until foamy. Place bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Coat cakes in egg whites, then in bread crumbs; transfer to a baking sheet. Pour 1 tablespoon canola oil in a medium nonstick skillet, place over medium high heat. Add half the cakes, cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Return to baking sheet; set aside. Repeat process with remaining tablespoon canola oil and cakes, wiping skillet with paper towel between batches. Place cakes in oven; cook until deeply golden, about 10 minutes.
