Peel the potatoes and boil until soft. Drain and mash while still hot until mashed (do not use a blender, as this will leave a paste). Peel and finely dice the onion and carrots, then fry in a pan with a little oil until soft. Combine the chunky mashed potatoes with the vegetable mixture and season with salt and pepper. Form the mixture into equal-sized patties, coat in flour, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm up. Then coat in beaten egg and cover with panko. Fry the korokkes until golden brown and drain on paper towels. This recipe is for Japanese fans and potato lovers who may not have meat at home or simply want to cook meat-free. They are delicious as a side dish or main course.
