Grated Potato Pancake
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Peel the potatoes and julienne them thinly.
~5 min
Soak the julienned potato in cold water to rinse off the starch, then drain well.
~5 min
Why: Rinsing off the starch keeps the batter from clumping and helps it fry up crispy.
In a bowl, mix the potato, potato starch, and salt (add the sliced onion here too, if using).
~2 min
Heat oil in a pan, spread the mixture thin, and pan-fry both sides until golden.
~6 min
Watch out: If the layer is too thick, the inside stays raw and mushy — spread it as thin as possible.
Lower the heat when flipping so the inside cooks through.
~4 min
Cut into bite-sized pieces and serve with a soy-vinegar dipping sauce.
~2 min
Tips
- —
Julienne the potato as thin as possible for the crispiest texture.
- —
The more starch you rinse off, the crispier it fries — almost like deep-frying.
- —
A soy sauce, vinegar, and gochugaru dip cuts through the richness.
Storage
Best eaten fresh and crispy; leftovers reheat well in an air fryer to restore the texture.
