    Ingredients

    1lb/500g Starchy potatoes (*1)

    0.3lb/120g Ground Beef

    0.15lb/70g Onion (*2)

    0.15lb/70g Carrot (*3)

    1/2 tbs olive oil

    Oil for deep frying

    1 egg

    4 tbs plain flour

    3 tbs water

    1 tbs kewpie mayonnaise

    2 cups of Japanese panko bread crumb (*4)

    Directions

    Peel and dice the potatoes.

    Cook the potatoes in boiling water for about 10 minutes.

    While the potato is being cooked, chop the onion and carrot finely and set aside.

    Heat olive oil in a frying pan over high heat and add the mince to cook.

    When the color of most of the ground beef changes, add onion and carrot to cook for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

    Check if the potatoes are cooked by inserting a skewer. If it goes through, the potato is cooked.

    Strain the water from the potatoes, put them back in the pot and shake them around to rough up the outsides a little. *5

    Then mash the potato with a potato masher while the potato is warm.

    Add cooked ground beef, onion and carrot to the mashed potato and combine them all well.

    Divide the mix into 8 equal sized flat ovals. *6

    Combine the egg, water, mayonnaise, and flour in a small bowl to make a batter. *7

    Coat each of the ovals with the batter, then place the potato oval into the panko crumbs.

    Coat all potato ovals with the panko crumbs.

    Heat deep frying oil in a deep pan until it reaches around 350°F (180°C). *8

    Fry each of the potato ovals until crispy and golden brown.

    Serve croquettes with salad leaves or any side dish of your choice. *9
