Ingredients
  

Potato Mixture

Coating

Serving sauce (serves 6 tbsps):

Instructions
 

  • Peel your potatoes and quarter them. Boil for 15 minutes until fork tender. Strain in a colander and place them into a mixing bowl.
  • Meanwhile, fry your diced onions in 1 tablespoon of oil until soft and translucent. Place into the mixing bowl.
  • Season your potatoes and onions with salt, garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Mash the potatoes and onions together and mix well. Then divide the potato batter into 8 equal portions. Roll them into oval shaped balls and place them in the fridge for 15 minutes (do not skip this step or you will have a difficult time coating them).
  • In one bowl add corn starch. In the second bowl, beat two eggs. Lastly in the third bowl, add your panko breadcrumbs.
  • Coat each ball in first cornstarch until evenly coated. Then coat in the egg and lastly cover with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat 2 cups of oil over medium heat in a large pan. To test if it's ready, place a wooden chopstick and look for bubbles. If you spot bubbles, it's time to deep fry.
  • Deep fry for 1.5 minutes on each side until golden crispy brown. Enjoy with homemade katsu sauce (recipe below).

Serving sauce:

  • In a small bowl combine all the Sauce ingredients together using a whisk.
