Korokke is a Japanese take on a French classic, the croquette. Mashed potatoes and ground meat are formed into a patty, then coated in panko breadcrumbs and fried.
This spud snack evolved from the French croquette after it arrived in Japan in the late 1800s. The Japanese spin took the dish from an elite novelty and turned it into an everyday comfort food by using accessible ingredients.
Korokke is now a staple in convenience stores and markets. There’s even a modern tradition of eating korokke when typhoons approach. Served with sauce, on noodles, or in between slices of bread, korokke goes wherever cravings lead.
Potatoes are a part of nearly every global cuisine. As athletes from around the globe gather in Milan, learn the history of some of the world’s most famous potato dishes from the Spud Chef! Try the recipes yourself to fuel your best performance.
