Description

Delightful Korean potato pancakes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, perfect for snacks or meals.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
  • For the dipping sauce (optional): Soy sauce
  • A splash of vinegar (rice vinegar works great)
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Prep the ingredients: Peel and grate the potatoes and onion.
  2. Drain excess moisture by placing the grated mixture in a clean kitchen towel and squeezing out liquid.
  3. Mix the batter: In a bowl, combine the drained potatoes, onion, beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Cook the pancakes: Scoop about 1/4 cup of batter into the pan and flatten slightly. Cook for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Drain excess oil by placing cooked pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate.

Notes

Use starchy potatoes for the best texture. Adjust seasoning to taste, and consider adding garlic powder or chili flakes.
