Korokke are potato cakes coated with panko and deep fried.  Korokke is a food people of all ages love in Japan.  Well, who wouldn’t like deep fried mashed potatoes?  It does not seem like a traditional style of Japanese food, but it in fact is since Korokke has been popular for 100 years.  People in Japan may not have to make Korokke at home because they can find it anywhere, but we do when living outside Japan. It’s hard to get decent tasting Korokke here…  Besides you can’t beat homemade Korokke anyway when it’s hot and crispy!
