Korokke (Potato Croquette) Recipe Video
Korokke is a wonderful snack food. Many times our exchange students would make these-sometimes filled with kani (local Dungeness), or with left over meats.
Korokke is made by mixing cooked chopped meat, seafood, or vegetables with mashed potato or white sauce, rolling it in wheat flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs/panko, then deep frying this until brown on the outside.

Have you tried Japanese (Satsumaimo ) sweet potatoes? They are white and taste a bit like chestnuts! Also Okinawa Sweet Potatoes are very different and they are purple inside. I like to mix sweet potatoes with Yukon Gold Potatoes and mix in roasted garlic.

Sweet potato would be good, and I think rutabega would be nice. Maybe a mixture of potato and parsnip or turnip would be tasty, especially with smoked bacon in it.
I have made this with potato and cabbage and ham dice yummy.
