Step-by-Step Instructions for Crispy Korean Potato Pancakes
- Start by peeling and grating 400 g of Russet potatoes into a large bowl. Ensure to drain any excess moisture to achieve maximum crispiness. Once properly drained, add ¼ cup of cornstarch, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper, and 2 finely chopped green onions to the bowl. Mix everything well until evenly combined, forming a thick potato mixture.
- Now, incorporate 1 cup of grated mozzarella cheese into your potato mixture, stirring gently to combine.
- Next, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Drizzle a light coating of oil—enough to cover the bottom—allowing the oil to heat until it shimmers.
- Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, take spoonfuls of the potato mixture and place them onto the hot pan. Flatten each scoop into pancake shapes while ensuring enough space between them.
- Cook the pancakes for approximately 3–4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Carefully flip each pancake, allowing the other side to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
- In the final minutes of cooking, sprinkle additional grated mozzarella cheese on top of each pancake. Allow the cheese to melt.
- Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a serving plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Garnish with any remaining chopped green onions and serve warm.
