Today I was hungry and was considering over getting some food delivered. At our nearest Thai/Japanese restaurant place that does delivery, I looked over their menu and I saw that they had Potato Croquette-$4.99. I slowly shut that down and opened my refrigerator and found that I had all the ingredients already for croquettes. Just recently have gotten a new deep fryer (Hamilton Beach) I was excited to test it out with this recipe, and it came out perfectly! I can't stop eating these Korokkes, they're amazingly addicting.
