Mayonnaise Croquette

T loves croquette very much. He will order it whenever we visit Japanese restaurant. There is a stall selling wonderful croquettes in a food court in Sydney Chinatown. We used to patronise that stall pretty often, especially loved their sukiyaki flavour croquette.

Few days ago I made some mayonnaise flavour croquettes and shaped them with the onigiri maker. Both of us loved it very much and I can proudly say that it was the best croquette I ever made.

Ingredients:

500g potato (peeled, boiled and mashed)

5-6 tbsp mayonnaise, divided (I used Japanese brand)

1 small onion, chopped

100g mince

Salt

Black Pepper (freshly crushed)

1 egg, lightly beaten

All purpose flour

Bread Crumb (I used Japanese brand)

Oil for deep frying

Directions:

1. Heat 2-3 tbsp of mayonnaise in a non-stick pan. Stir in chopped onion and saute for 1-2 minutes then add in mince. Cook until the mince is browned, add salt and pepper to taste.
2. Put mashed potato in a large mixing bowl, stir in cooked mince and remaining mayonnaise. Mix till combined.
3. Lightly wet hand with water, divide the mixture into 5-6 portions and shape each portion into the desired shape or patty.
4. Coat the patty with all-purpose flour, then egg mixture and lastly bread crumb.
5. Deep fry croquettes with low-medium heat oil till lightly browned.
