Japanese Potato Croquettes

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and dice the potato into small pieces, then steam until soft.

2. 2

   Mash the steamed potato and mix with thawed and blanched mixed vegetables. Add diced onion, cooked shrimp, or minced meat as desired. Mix in mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper.

3. 3

   Divide the potato mixture into several portions and shape them into small patties.

4. 4

   Coat each patty lightly with starch.

5. 5

   Dip each patty into beaten egg.

6. 6

   Finally, coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring not too thick.

7. 7

   Heat oil in a pan to 180°C (test by inserting a chopstick; bubbles should form). Fry the croquettes until golden brown. Be careful not to overcook as the coating is thin.

8. 8

   Drain the croquettes on kitchen paper or a rack before serving. Experiment with different fillings like seafood or curry for variety.
