Cooking Instructions
Step 1
1. Making the Chewy and Soft Potato Pancake: First, wash and peel 1 potato. Grate it finely using a grater. Since grated potato can discolor quickly, mix in a pinch of salt immediately after grating. This seasons it and helps absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
To the grated potato, add 1/2 finely chopped onion, 2 Tbsp potato starch, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together to form a batter. The batter should be thick, not too watery.
Step 3
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Scoop the batter with a spoon and drop it into the pan to form small, round pancakes. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides. This completes the chewy and delicious potato pancake.
Step 4
2. Making the Crispy Shredded Potato Pancake: Wash and peel 2 potatoes. Julienne them into very thin, fine shreds. Lightly salt the shredded potatoes to enhance their crispiness.
Step 5
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Spread the shredded potatoes thinly in the pan. Cook until the edges turn golden brown, then flip and fry the other side until crispy. The nutty flavor and crispiness of the shredded potatoes are exceptional.
Step 6
3. Making the Mixed Potato Pancake: For this version, we’ll mix shredded and grated potato. First, add cooking oil to the pan and spread a thin layer of shredded potatoes. Then, spread a thin layer of the batter (made from grated potato and starch) over the shredded potatoes. Cook until both the shredded potatoes and the batter are golden brown and crispy. The combination of textures creates a richer flavor experience.
