This is my favorite dish to make for potlucks, friendsgivings, you name it. Every Christmas, I make this for my family. You can make batches of these korokkes ahead of time and freeze them before frying too!
This recipe was originally inspired by the korokke recipe from the youtube channel Cooking with Dog. They were my favorite cooking channel when i was a kid and some of the best dishes i made were from their youtube channel. This is my modified recipe with ingredients i found at HEB. These are delightful fried potato balls filled with ground beef.
All the Ingredients can be found at basically any local grocery store. The panko breadcrumbs are a must.
