Ingredients

• •2 lb russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
• •8 oz ground beef
• •1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• •1 tbsp soy sauce
• •1 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •2 eggs, beaten
• •2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• •4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. 1Boil the potatoes for 15 minutes until tender, drain well, and mash while hot.
2. 2Cook ground beef and onion for 7 minutes, then season with soy sauce and black pepper.
3. 3Mix the beef mixture into the potatoes and cool for 10 minutes.
4. 4Shape into ovals, then coat each with flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs.
5. 5Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the korokke in batches for 3–4 minutes.
