I usually use canned crab or prawn.
But this time I tried using shredded imitation crab for salad and that gave it bold umami flavor that tasted great.

I used easy melting cheese but you can use sliced or processed cheese.
Whatever you have available in your home.
The recipe only uses a little bit of onion so I don't wash it in water. I think leaving a little bit of that bitter taste makes it taste good. Recipe by putimiko

Steps

1

Peel the potatoes, cut into 5 mm width pieces, and wash off the excess starch with water. Lay out the cut potatoes in a plastic bag make sure they don't overlap each other.
2

Cook in the microwave at 500 to 600w for about 5 minutes or so. Once soft take out of the bag and put into a bowl and smash while still warm.
3

Finely chop the onion but don't wash them with water as it's only a small amount (but you can soak the slices in water if you're concerned about the onion being too spicy).
4

Add the ● ingredients once the potatoes have cooled down. Mix well and then add the crab, cheese and onion.
5

Break off into 4 cakes and round each off while flattening it a bit.
6

Cover lightly with flower.
7

Put some olive or vegetable oil in a fry pan and cook the croquettes.
They're done once nice and golden brown.
8

They're even good cold so feel free to make small ones for bento.
9

Don't touch them for a while after putting them in the frying pan. It's easier to flip them using a spatula rather than chopsticks.
