Korokke is Japanese fried mashed potato with vegetables and meat. My mom made these all the time when I was a kid. Its is a great portable snack that reheats well.

Ingredients (4 servings)
1 lb potatoes
1/4 lb ground beef
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1/2 onion
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
pepper (to season)
flour
panko (breadcrumb)
vegetable oil (for frying)

How to make
1.Peel and cut potatoes into medium chunks. Boil potatoes until soften. Mash potatoes and set aside.
2.Mince onion and saute in a fryin pan. Add ground beef in the pan and saute. Mix mashed potato and onion and beef in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
3.Make flat and oval-shaped pieces about 3" in diameter and 3/4" thick (a little bigger that a cookie). Coat each piece with flour. Dip in beaten egg. Coat with panko. Fry in 350 F oil until brown.
