Squid & Potato Pancake
Ingredients
Sauce
Steps
Grate the potato and drain it in a sieve.
~5 min
Why: Draining off the liquid keeps the batter from being too runny so it fries up crisp.
Finely chop the squid, and finely chop the green onion and onion as well.
~5 min
In a bowl, combine the grated potato, chopped squid, green onion, and onion, then mix in the pancake mix and salt to form a batter.
~3 min
Heat oil in a pan and ladle the batter in, spreading it thin, and cook over medium heat.
~4 min
Once the bottom turns golden, flip and crisp up the other side.
~4 min
Watch out: Spreading the batter too thick leaves the center undercooked and soggy — spread it as thin as you can.
Once golden on both sides, remove and plate.
~1 min
Serve with a dipping sauce of soy sauce and vinegar.
~1 min
Tips
- —
Let the drained potato liquid settle, then stir the starch sediment back into the batter for a chewier texture.
- —
Don't chop the squid too fine — you want to still taste the chew.
- —
Perfect with makgeolli (Korean rice wine) on a rainy day.
Storage
Keeps refrigerated 2 days — reheat in an air fryer or pan (not the microwave) to bring back the crispness.
