Step 1
Dice potatoes into 1-inch chunks, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil.
Step 2
While potatoes cook, dice onion fine and sauté in a dry pan over medium heat until soft.
Step 3
Add ground beef to the pan, break it up with a spoon, and cook until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.
Step 4
Drain potatoes, mash them smooth, then fold in beef, onion, and tonkatsu sauce until combined.
Step 5
Shape mixture into 4 ovals (2–3 inches long). Whisk egg in one bowl, spread panko in another.
Step 6
Coat each croquette in egg, then roll in panko. Pan-fry in oil over medium-high heat until golden all over, ~4 minutes.
