Ingredients (4 persons' portion)
- 4 potatoes
- 180 to 200 g of aibiki meat (ground beef and pork)
- 1 onion
- 30 g butter
- 1 egg
- flour
- pinch of salt and pepper
- dried breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
- Peel the potatoes and cut into pieces. Boil until soft.
- Chop the onion finely. Saute in butter until lightly browned. Add the aibiki meat, and fry until the meat becomes dry and crumbles.
- Drain the potatoes and place them in a bowl. Mash with a pestle or masher.
- Add the meat mixture prepared in 【2】 to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide into serving-sized portions and shape into ovals.
- Beat the egg in a bowl and add enough flour to make a thick batter—like for pancake batter. Sprinkle on salt and pepper.
- Coat the oval portions in the batter prepared in 【5】 and then in the dried breadcrumbs. Deep-fry in the oil at 160 to 180 °C. Serve hot.
Point & Advice
If you make a stock of mashed potatoes prepared as in 【3】, you can enjoy a wide variety of croquettes. You can season them with curry powder for curry-flavored croquettes or mayonnaise for potato-salad-flavored ones. Try various flavored croquettes.
A mouthful-size croquette is as easy to eat as it is to cook.
