Ingredients
- 7 small yellow russet potatoes peeled
- 2 cups kimchi finely chopped
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour or cornstarch/potato starch/gluten-free baking flour
- 0.5 cup potato starch or cornstarch
- 1 large egg
- 4 tablespoon vegetable oil or any neutral oil
Instructions
- First grate your peeled potatoes with a box grater or a food processor on the smaller setting. Transfer grated potatoes to a colander.
- Rinse the grated potatoes with cold running water to remove excess starch. Strain out the excess water by giving the colander a good shake.
- Transfer the grated potatoes into a clean tea towel and wring out as much water as possible. Note: The drier the potatoes are, the more crispy your pancakes will be.
- Place the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl with all-purpose flour, potato starch, egg and chopped kimchi. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are well combined and the batter is sticky.
- In a large pan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoon vegetable oil. Spoon about ¼ cup of the batter into the hot pan. Flatten batter into a thin pancake using the flat side of your measuring cup. Do not overcrowd the pan and fry the pancakes in small batches depending on the size of your pan.
- Flip pancakes over with a spatula. Pour another 2 tablespoon of vegetable oil around the pancakes. Fry on the other side until golden crispy brown. Remove pancakes from pan and transfer to a wire rack or paper-towel lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve with your favourite condiment and enjoy!
