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.

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.

For this recipe

You will need the following ingredients for this kimchi potato pancakes recipe:

7 small potatoes, peeled and rated
2 cups packed kimchi, finely chopped
1 cup flour
1 egg
Cooking oil, as needed

How to make kimchi potato pancakes

First grate your peeled potatoes with a box grater or a food processor.

Rinse the starch of the grated potatoes in a colander. Strain out the excess water.

Transfer the grated potatoes into a clean tea towel and wring out the liquids to dry the shredded potatoes.

Place the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl, along with flour, egg and chopped kimchi. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are well combined and the batter is sticky.

In a non-stick pan set over medium flame, add 1 teaspoon of cooking oil. Spoon about ¼ cup of the batter into the hot pan.

Flatten batter into a pancake and repeat this process until you have about 3-4 pancakes in the pan frying. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Cover with a lid.

Fry on each side for 5 minutes or until golden crispy brown. Repeat process for the remainder of the batter.

Serve with your favourite condiment and enjoy!
