Korokke Ingredients

Method

Korokke Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    Make the Korokke Mixture

    In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Form the Korokke

    Take a handful of the sweet potato mixture and form into small patties. Set aside on a plate.

  4. 4

    Coat the Korokke

    Prepare a breading station by placing the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge each patty in flour, dip in egg, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Fry the Korokke

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the korokke in batches until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
