One of my favorite comfort foods of all time, the Japanese Croquette. It was adapted by the Japanese years ago when the Dutch missionaries came and were allowed to settle in Japan. They can be made in many shapes and sizes with a variety of fillings. Here is one of my favorites, beef and corn!
Start by boiling cut up potatoes and frying up some onion and ground beef. Drain the oil out of the beef mixture. Mash up the potatoes and mix in the beef and drained canned corn or defrosted frozen corn. Once cooled, form the croquettes into patties. Don't forget to season the beef and pototaes!
Coat with what I call the deep frying trifecta - flour, egg, and panko. Season the flour and egg with salt and pepper!
Here are some coated croquttes in the foreground, and uncoated in the background.
Fry 'em up one in shallow oil - the secret to no mess! 350-375 degree oil. Just let them get golden brown, the inside is already cooked! And dry them out on paper towels...
Bulldog sauce (tonkatsu sauce) mixed with ketchup or barbeque tastes great with these!
Enjoy!
