Super Simple Potato Pancake Recipe: Just Potatoes and Salt!

I recently bought a small box of potatoes. There are so many potato dishes out there.

• Simply steamed potatoes
• Potato stir-fry
• French fries
• Potato pancake
• Potato salad
• Potato soup
• Potato chips
• Potato gratin
• Potato sandwich
• Roasted potatoes

And so on.

But still, nothing screams Korean like a potato pancake, right?!

So, today, I'm going to make a potato pancake. It's super easy, so even if you're overseas, you can easily make it at home.

Today's Dish: Potato Pancake

Ingredients: Potatoes, cooking oil, salt

Optional ingredients: Red pepper, green onion (spring onion, chives, doesn't matter)

Tools: Grater if you don't have a blender, strainer

※ 6 potatoes yielded 2 potato pancakes.

How to Make Potato Pancake

1. Peel the potatoes.

2. Blend the peeled potatoes in a blender. If you don't have a blender, grate them.

3. Strain the blended potatoes.

• In other words, drain the water. Wait about 20 minutes to drain the water.
• Don't discard the drained water at this point.

4. Mix the strained potato mixture and the starch remaining in the drained water.

5. Season with a little salt. Since you can dip it in soy sauce, it's better not to add too much salt to avoid it being too salty.

6. Now... pour the blended potato mixture into the frying pan.

7. Pour a little cooking oil around the edges. Then, swirl it around to distribute it evenly.

8. The timing to flip it is when you lift the frying pan and shake it, and it starts to come off. Flip it at that point.

9. Cook until it's nicely browned and it's done!

10. Haha, I tried topping it with green onions... but it doesn't look good. I've seen people decorate it with red pepper in the middle, like a snowman. It still looks like a snowman. But it tastes great with kimchi or soy sauce.

Even overseas, you can easily make it with just potatoes, cooking oil, and salt! Korean style~! Highly recommended.
