Skillet Korokke is a delicious and convenient alternative to traditional deep-fried korokke. The mashed potato filling and crispy panko topping come together in an iron skillet, creating the same great taste as the deep-fried version. If you want to enjoy korokke but don’t have the time to cook the potatoes, shape the patties, batter them, and deep-fry, this skillet method is perfect for you. It’s all done right in the skillet, and you can serve it straight to the dining table. The key is getting that signature crispy exterior on the panko topping, which gives you the authentic korokke experience without the hassle of deep-frying. This skillet version is just as tasty, but much easier to prepare. Hope you give it a try!
