While savory kimchi pancakes or seafood scallion pancakes are great for a rainy day, today we’re making ‘Gamja Chaejeon’ – a pan-fried shredded potato pancake, cooked until wonderfully crispy. With potatoes in season and tasting their best, this dish offers a unique charm distinct from other potato recipes. It’s simple to make and loved by everyone. The key to a truly crispy pancake is slicing the potatoes thinly! The dipping sauce also plays an important role in complementing the flavor. Try this super easy shredded potato pancake recipe that appeals to both kids and adults!
Main Ingredients- 2 medium potatoes
- 1/4 onion
- 3 Tbsp pancake mix (buchim garu)
- 1/3 cup water (using a paper cup as a measure)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes thoroughly using a peeler. Also, remove the outer skin of the onion and wash both vegetables under running water.
Step 2
Thinly julienne the peeled potatoes and onion. The secret to a crispy potato pancake is slicing them thinly! The thinner the slices, the crispier your pancake will be. (Adjust the ingredient quantities based on the number of servings you need.)
Step 3
Place the julienned potatoes and onion in a bowl. Add 1/3 cup of water (measured with a paper cup) and 3 tablespoons of pancake mix. Mix gently until the ingredients just start to bind together. Be careful not to add too much batter, as this can make the pancake thick.
Step 4
Heat a pan with a generous amount of cooking oil. Spread the prepared batter thinly onto the hot pan. Again, spreading the batter as thinly as possible is crucial for achieving that perfect crispy texture.
Step 5
Cook over medium-low heat, flipping occasionally, until golden brown on both sides. Keep an eye on the heat to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. This potato dish surprisingly pairs well with ketchup! Once beautifully golden, your crispy potato pancake is ready.
Step 6
Enjoy your perfectly cooked shredded potato pancake! Just like other savory pancakes often enjoyed on rainy days, it’s fun to make various kinds using leftover vegetables from the fridge. Make your mealtime delightful with this simple yet delicious Gamja Chaejeon.
