Korokke, Fried Potato Croquettes
These are a Japanese favorite
Boil approx one medium sized Russet potato for every croquette you need
(Russets are a good choice as these need to be starchy potatoes for best results)
Once potatoes are tender, drain and return to pot
Over medium heat shake them around the pot to rough them up and dry them out
(Helps reduce moisture and yield a fluffier mashed texture)
Now mash them and add salt to taste
Brown some ground beef
Saute some finely chopped onion
(For 12 croquettes I used a 1/2lb of beef and a 1/2C of onion)
Combine them and season well with salt and pepper
Add to the potatoes and mix well
Form into patties and chill
Dredge patties in flour, egg and Panko
Chill to set the Panko
Deep fry at 350° till a deep golden brown
The mash is already cooked and heats up fast, so it takes just a few minutes to brown the breading
Top with, Tonkatsu, Tare or Yum Yum sauce
