KOROKKE (JAPANESE CROQUETTES)



Korokke (Japanese Croquettes) image

Deep fried mashed potato balls filled with meat and vegetables...how does that not sound delicious? I obtained this recipe from a friend's Japanese friend. While I love these korokkes, they are best served with Tonkatsu sauce (which can be found at most grocery stores in the Asian aisle...Kikkoman is the brand I use). I suggest preparing all the 'croquettes' and piling on a plate before you begin frying, as the process is very quick. I have only used Panko bread crumbs, and cannot verify the results using regular bread crumbs. Cook time includes boiling potatoes, sauteing meat and vegetables and frying croquettes.

Time 1h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

5 large potatoes, peeled and sliced in half
2 carrots, peeled and grated
1 onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground turkey
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 cups flour
salt and pepper
1/4 cup milk (or more)
vegetable oil
Tonkatsu sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, saute the ground beef, carrots and onions.
  • Saute until the ground meat is no longer pink, the onions are translucent and the carrots are tender.
  • Drain potatoes and in a large bowl, mash with milk, and salt and pepper to taste. Potatoes need to be sticky, not creamy like mashed potatoes.
  • Combine the meat mixture with the potato mixture in a large bowl.
  • In three pans or plates, put the following: flour, beaten eggs, and Panko crumbs.
  • Roll the potato mixture into a ball, about the size of a small snowball, about 3" in diameter.
  • Roll ball in flour and thoroughly coat it.
  • Next, roll the ball in the beaten eggs.
  • Finally, roll the ball in the Panko crumbs, thoroughly coating it.
  • I recommend completing all 'balls' up to this point, as the next step goes quickly.
  • Heat a pot of vegetable oil (oil should completely cover croquettes) to a temperature of about 365 degrees.
  • Place 'croquettes' into hot oil using tongs and fry until outside is golden, turning over as needed.
  • Using tongs, place cooked korokkes on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve with Tonkatsu sauce.

Tips:

  • Be sure to use starchy potatoes, such as russets or Yukon Golds, for the best results.
  • For a crispy crust, coat the korokke in panko breadcrumbs before frying.
  • If you don't have panko breadcrumbs, you can use crushed cornflakes or bread crumbs as a substitute.
  • Fry the korokke in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the korokke hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
