Method
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until tender, then drain and mash until smooth.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes until softened, then add the beef mince and fry for 5 minutes, checking it reaches 71°C with a meat thermometer, until browned.
Fold the onion and beef mixture into the mashed potato, season well, and leave to cool for 10 minutes until cool enough to shape.
Shape the mixture into eight oval croquettes.
Coat each croquette in flour, dip in beaten egg, and press into panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan to 180°C and deep-fry the croquettes in batches for 4 minutes until deep golden and crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper and serve with the tonkatsu sauce for dipping.
