Potato Croquette
500g potatoes
1 small onion
100g ground pork (or any ground protein is substitutable)
1 tbsp butter
salt and pepper
flour
1 egg
panko bread crumbs
- peel the potatoes, chop into small cubes and boil until fork tender
- strain the potatoes from the water
- using a potato masher or fork, mash the potatoes while still hot, and set aside
- in another pan, heat butter on medium heat
- stir fry mined onions until soft and golden
- add in ground pork and stir fry until cooked through
- add in mashed potatoes and mix everything well, and stir fry on low heat until mixture is a bit more dry and less moist
- season with salt and pepper, and any other spices you like
- separate into 8 small portions, or 6 medium portions and wait until it’s cooled down enough to touch with your hand
- gently mold each serving into a hockey puck shape, and set aside
- place in fridge for 1hr to set
- prepare flour, 1 beaten egg, panko bread crumbs into it’s own plate or bowl
- dip croquette in flour first, and dust off excess
- dip into egg until fully coated
- coat with panko bread crumbs last, and set aside
- continue with all the croquettes until they’re all coated
- if you made extras, can freeze the panko-coated croquettes right now. When you’re ready to eat, can fry straight from frozen
- heat oil on med-high heat until ~350F and fry croquettes until golden brown
