Korokke (Croquette)

Deep-fried breaded patties made of mashed potatoes and ground meat.

45 minutes
Serves 2
Snack/Side

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes until completely tender. Drain the water, then return the potatoes to the hot, empty pot for 1 minute to evaporate any remaining moisture. Mash them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the minced onions until translucent. Add the ground beef, seasoning generously with salt and pepper, and cook until browned.

  3. 3

    Fold the beef and onion mixture into the mashed potatoes. Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes so it's easier to handle.

  4. 4

    Shape the chilled mixture into 6-8 uniform oval patties, about 3/4-inch thick.

  5. 5

    Dredge each patty in flour, dip in the beaten egg, and coat heavily with panko breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Heat 2 inches of neutral oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the korokke for 3-4 minutes per side until the panko is deeply golden brown and crunchy. Serve hot with tonkatsu sauce.
