Number Of Ingredients 13

8 medium potatoes, peeled, cut into medium-sized chunks
2 teaspoons salt
1 cup ham, chopped into small pieces
¾ cup cheese, chopped into small pieces
½ green onion, chopped
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup flour
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
oil, for frying
green cabbage, shredded, to serve
tonkatsu sauce, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat water in a pot to a simmer, then add the potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and stir.
  • Cover and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, until a fork can easily pierce the potatoes.
  • Dry the potatoes on a towel, allowing them to steam to remove excess moisture, then transfer to a large bowl.
  • Mash the potatoes until no large chunks remain.
  • Add the ham, cheese, onions, the other teaspoon of salt, pepper, and milk.
  • Mix until evenly incorporated.
  • Shape the potato mixture into 2-inch (3cm) discs.
  • Separate the flour, eggs, and bread crumbs into separate bowls.
  • Dredge the croquettes into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip them into the eggs, and then coat them evenly in the bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil in a pot to 350°F (180°C).
  • Fry 2-3 croquettes at a time until golden brown, then drain on a rack or paper towels with a sprinkle of salt.
  • Cool, then serve with the cabbage and sauce!
  • Enjoy!
