Description
Crispy, golden-brown Korean potato pancakes are a savory and irresistible appetizer or snack. Made with grated potatoes, green onions, and simple seasonings, these easy-to-make pancakes come together in just 20 minutes for a delicious taste of Korean cuisine.
Ingredients
– 2 cups grated russet potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
– 2 green onions, thinly sliced
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
1. 1. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes by placing them in a clean kitchen towel and twisting it to wring out the liquid.
2. 2. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, flour, eggs, green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully incorporated.
3. 3. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
4. 4. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten them slightly in the pan, creating 3-inch pancakes.
5. 5. Fry the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. 6. Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining potato mixture, adding more oil as needed.
7. 7. Serve the Korean potato pancakes hot, with soy sauce, or your desired dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
For best results, be sure to squeeze out as much moisture from the grated potatoes as possible. This will help the pancakes get extra crispy. You can also experiment with different mix-in ingredients, such as shredded cabbage, grated carrots, or chopped chives.
