Instructions

  1. Start boiling water in a medium pot, then add peeled, quartered potatoes and cook until easily pierced.

  2. Drain the potatoes, return them to the pot, and mash while hot.

  3. In a skillet, sauté beef and onion until cooked, then combine with the mashed potatoes in a bowl.

  4. Season the mixture with salt and pepper, let it cool, then form into flattened, oval patties.

  5. Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with panko; coat each patty in flour, dip in egg, then coat thoroughly with panko.

  7. Deep-fry the patties in batches until golden brown and crispy, then drain on a rack or paper towels.

  8. Serve the Korokke hot with your preferred dipping sauce.
