    Kimchi Potato Pancakes. Savoury, delicious potato pancakes with tangy kimchi. This is a great side dish, snack or appetizer idea. Very easy to make and only requires 5 ingredients. This recipe is vegetarian.

    Kimchi Potato Pancakes

    I love kimchi but I love it even more when it's mixed in with some starchy yellow potatoes, flour, egg and fried in oil! This Korean kimchi potato pancake is absolutely delicious and will totally hit the spot!

    What does it taste like?

    Imagine your classic potato pancake but every bite contains the crunch and tang of some kimchi. The kimchi is packed with flavourful and saltiness that you won't even need to flavour the batter with salt. The texture of these pancakes are softer than extra crispy because I don't like adding a lot of oil but if you prefer it very crispy, feel free to shallow fry these.

    Easy to make!

    My kimchi and potato pancake only requires 5 ingredients! It's incredibly easy to make and everything is mixed in one bowl! Perhaps the only challenging part is grating the potatoes BUT if you own a food processor that has a grater, that will make the whole process 10x easier! I've linked the food processor that I own down below.

    How to make kimchi potato pancakes
