Cooking Instructions
- 1
Cut the sweet potatoes into 3 cm thick slices. Place into a bowl of water and drain, then steam in a steamer for 20 minutes.
- 2
If a bamboo skewer goes through a piece easily they are ready. If you don't have a steamer, you can microwave the potatoes.
- 3
Take the skin off the sweet potatoes while they're still hot. Put in a bowl with a little salt and pepper and 50 g of butter.
- 4
Mash up the sweet potato while it's still hot with a potato masher. The butter will melt immediately too if the potato is still hot.
- 5
Heat up a frying pan over medium heat without any oil. Cut the bacon up into 1 cm pieces and stir-fry quickly until lightly browned.
- 6
Add the bacon and cheese, that's been diced into 1 cm pieces, to the mashed potato and mix well. It's better at this point if the potato has cooled down a bit so that the cheese won't melt.
- 7
Add an egg to the bowl and mix well.
- 8
Divide the mixture and form into balls.
- 9
Coat the balls in bread flour (or cake flour), egg, sliced almonds or panko.
- 10
Put some oil into a frying pan, heat to 180°C and shallow fry the croquettes. I prefer to shallow fry them and roll them around since it saves on oil.
- 11
If you fry them in a little oil, they turn out like this. Make sure not to let them burn and roll them around as they cook.
- 12
They should have a nice golden brown finish. Drain away the excess oil on paper towels.
- 13
They're delicious with some ketchup. Give it a try!

Sweet Potato Croquettes Sweet Potato Croquettes
I got a lot of sweet potatoes as a gift, so I made them into croquettes: my children's favorite.The texture depends on what kind of sweet potatoes you use. If you don't like it flaky, adjust thickness with milk or fresh cream. I tried to keep the other ingredients to a minimum to highlight the natural taste of the sweet potatoes. Recipe by kazz72

My parents sent me a lot of potatoes, so I made potato croquettes imitating TANITA restaurant's baked kabocha squash croquettes recipe.(TANITA a company that makes body scales and other scales, is also famous for providing healthy lunch menus in office cafeterias.)＊ In Step 5, when you cut the cheese, be careful not to pull on the knife, otherwise it will cut right through through the plastic wrapper.＊ I am using a 1000W toaster oven., just as a reference point.＊ The cheese and the bacon add enough salty flavor.

Taste of Autumn: Sweet Potato Cream Croquettes Taste of Autumn: Sweet Potato Cream Croquettes
I wanted to make sweet potato croquettes that go well with rice but aren't too sweet, so I made them into cream croquettes.The batter is soft because these are cream croquettes. That's why it needs to be chilled in the refrigerator before they're shaped.To prevent them from bursting, make sure to deep-fry them in hot oil over medium to high and don't touch it until it's hard and golden brown.

My mother used to make these quite often.At my parent's place, they preferred ground chicken, but our family prefers ground pork because my husband loves heavy meals.Try these out with ground chicken as well -- they'll turn out tasty and light.If you use katakuriko (corn starch), you'll be able to shape them without difficulty. Even children can help you because it's so easy to shape. The heart-shaped ones were made by my son.

Healthier Non-fried Sweet Potato Croquettes Healthier Non-fried Sweet Potato Croquettes
I became obsessed with the sweet potato croquettes with cream cheese that I ate at a restaurant. I wanted to eat more, but I was afraid that all the oil, cheese, and sweet potato will make me fat!! That's why I decided to make a non-fried version and used yogurt instead of cream cheese.It becomes fluffy and sweet if you coat the boiled potatoes with breadcrumbs.The sour taste of yogurt is just like cream cheese. Adjust the sugar depending on the sweetness of potatoes, or your own preference. These are also tasty when they're deep-fried!You could substitute beaten eggs for the butter. Recipe by coco0802
