Boil 4 potatoes in their skins for 22 minutes, then peel and mash them.
Finely dice the onion and saute it in 1 tablespoon oil for 5 minutes.
Knead the potatoes and onion with salt, then shape them into oval patties.
Coat the patties in egg and breadcrumbs so the crust does not fall apart in the oil.
Fry in 170°C oil for 4 minutes, until golden, then drain.
Serve the sauce separately, otherwise the breadcrumb coating softens before serving.
💡 Tip: When the mashed potato has cooled completely, the breadcrumb coating clings more evenly.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with finely shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce on the side.
