About Japanese potato croquettes

Japanese Potato Croquettes, or "Korokke," are a popular comfort food with origins in Japanese cuisine, inspired by French croquettes. Made from mashed potatoes blended with flavorful ingredients like sautéed ground meat, onions, salt, and pepper, the mixture is shaped into patties, coated in flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs, then deep-fried to golden perfection. These croquettes boast a crispy exterior and a soft, creamy interior. While delicious, their deep-frying process contributes to a higher fat content, making moderation key for those watching calorie intake. Rich in carbohydrates from potatoes and often paired with shredded cabbage or a tangy tonkatsu sauce, Korokke provides energy and vitamins like vitamin B6 and potassium. Opting for a baked or air-fried version can enhance its health profile while retaining its beloved flavor and texture. Often served as a snack, side dish, or part of a bento box, Korokke is a quintessential taste of Japanese home cooking.
