Korean Potato Croquettes

These potato croquettes were my FAVORITE snack to eat when I was a child. These are soooo simple to make since it's very similar to making mashed potatoes but with tons of veggies. The only time consuming part is pan frying these bad boys in a skillet until they are golden brown/crispy.

4 large potatoes, peeled and chopped into large pieces

1/4 of a large onion, finely chopped

1/2 - 1 cup frozen corn 

1/2 - 1 cup frozen sweet green peas

1/2 of a large carrot, finely chopped 

Freshly ground black pepper

Salt

2 eggs, beaten

Flour

Dried bread crumbs

Cook the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water until they are fork tender. In the meantime, add a tablespoon of oil in a skillet and saute the chopped onion, corn, sweet green peas, and chopped carrots until the vegetables are tender. Set aside.  Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain the water and mash with a potato masher until the mixture is nice and smooth. Add the sauteed vegetables into the potato mixture and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Shape the potato mixture into golf ball sized pieces using an ice cream scoop. Dredge the potato balls in flour, then egg mixture, and finally, the breadcrumbs. Do this with every piece of the potato balls. Carefully fry the potato balls in skillet with hot oil until golden brown.
