Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 1 small onion
  • ½ pound ground beef
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 cups vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup and mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. 1

    Peel and chop the 3 potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Finely chop the 1 small onion. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the onion and 0.5 pound ground beef until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Mix the mashed potatoes with the cooked beef and onion. Shape into 4 oval patties, then insert a wooden stick into each one.

  4. 4

    Set up three bowls: 0.5 cup flour, 1 beaten egg, and 1 cup panko breadcrumbs. Coat each patty in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the patties in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve the korokke sticks with 2 tablespoons ketchup and mayonnaise for dipping.
