Traditional Korean Potato Pancakes

Overview

When I was a child, I ate potato pancakes in a tent carriage (포장마차) on the roadside. I would eat more than a dozen of them. When I grow up, I know how to drink. I drink wine in the cloth tent carriage. As long as there are potato cakes, there is no need for other dishes to go with the wine.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash and cut the potatoes and put them in a blender.

   

2. 2 Stir thoroughly and be fine enough. Those who are interested can grind it by hand, but I am lazy and just use the mixer.

   

3. 3 To separate the water, just leave it like this for about 2 minutes. There is no need to press it deliberately.

   

4. 4 Leave the separated water in the bowl for another 2 minutes, and the water will gradually become clear. Pour away the water at this time and you can see pure natural potato starch precipitating underneath.

   

5. 5 Add starch to our potato flour, and add half a spoonful of salt. Don't add too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat it if it's salty.

   

6. 6 Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pot, place the mold, and heat over low heat for 30-60 seconds. The amount of oil is very important. Potato cakes are relatively oil-absorbent. If there is less oil, they will be dry. But if there is too much oil, they will not form and become sticky. It will probably take you a few times to get the hang of it. It is best to use a brush to apply oil to the inside of the mold as well.

   

7. 7 Put our potato flour in and fry slowly over medium-low heat.

   

8. 8 Pay attention when frying. When the circumference is about 8mm and there is transparency, you can almost remove the mold and turn it over. Be careful not to get confused. If the oil is absorbed, remember to replenish it in time, but don't add too much at once. Fry both sides until golden brown and serve.

   

9. 9 Chop some green onions for dipping. If you like spicy food, you can also chop some small chili peppers.

   

10. 10 Pour some seafood soy sauce into a small plate, add our chopped green onions and small chili peppers, add an appropriate amount of MSG, and serve!
