Croquette is one of Japanese traditional food. My mother makes lots of variety of croquettes. This is my favorite and we used to cook together. Japanese sweet potato is different from American sweet potato so I add flour to the mixture since American sweet potato is more waterly but other than that, this is my mother's original recipe and I learned how to make.
