Step 1
Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for 15 minutes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3 minutes until softened.
Step 3
Add ground beef and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it apart, until browned. Season with salt and pepper. Cool completely.
Step 4
Mix cooled mashed potatoes with cooled beef mixture. Shape into 12 oval croquettes (about 3 inches long).
Step 5
Set up three bowls: flour in first, beaten eggs in second, panko in third. Coat each croquette in flour, then egg, then panko, pressing gently.
Step 6
Heat oil to 350°F in a heavy pot or deep fryer. Working in batches, fry croquettes 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 7
Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with tonkatsu sauce and Japanese mustard.
