Description

Crispy Kimchi Potato Pancakes with Gochujang Sour Cream delight your taste buds!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups grated potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)
  • 1 cup kimchi, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (for gochujang sour cream)
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for gochujang sour cream)
  • Salt to taste (for gochujang sour cream)

Instructions

  1. Begin by grating the potatoes and placing them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to ensure crispy pancakes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped kimchi, green onions, flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and flatten it into a pancake shape in the skillet. Repeat with remaining mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Cook each pancake for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix together sour cream, gochujang, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  6. Serve the crispy potato pancakes warm with a generous dollop of gochujang sour cream on top.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of cornmeal to the potato mixture.
  • Try adding shredded carrots or zucchini for added flavor and nutrition.
