Korokke is a popular yōshoku dish (Western-style Japanese cuisine 🇯🇵) originally inspired by French croquettes 🇫🇷. The main ingredient in korokke is potato 🥔, so it's also very similar to Italian potato croquettes 🇮🇹.

I had a huge new potato left in my pantry and needed to use it, so I decided to make korokke with ingredients I already had at home. This is also a lighter recipe: korokke are usually fried, but I baked them instead 🎊

Steps

1

Cut the peeled potatoes into small pieces and place them in a bowl of water. Change the water several times.
2

Add the panko to a skillet and toast over low heat, stirring constantly, until crispy and golden brown. Remove from heat and mix well with the olive oil.
3

Mix the beaten egg and flour together until smooth.
4

Finely chop the onion and ham. Add a little olive oil to a skillet and cook them over medium heat until the onion is soft.
5

Drain the potatoes. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and microwave the potatoes for about 6 minutes at 600W.
6

Mash the potatoes with a fork. Add the onion and ham, milk, Parmesan, and a little salt and pepper. Mix very well.
7

Form 5 patties from the mixture. You can add some cheese to the center of each patty if you like.
8

Dip the patties in the egg and flour mixture, then coat with the panko. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the patties on it.
9

Bake the patties in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
