Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 250 g peeled potatoes
- 50 g mozzarella cheese, shredded or cut into cubes
Batter & Seasonings
- 20 g brown sugar
- 25 g cornstarch or cornflour
- A pinch of salt
For Cooking
- Cooking oil, as needed
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Peel and grate 250 g potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Set the grated, dry potatoes aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with 20 g brown sugar, 25 g cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Use your hands or a spatula to thoroughly mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape Dough: Divide the potato mixture into small, equal portions. Using your hands, flatten each portion into a disc about ½ inch thick.
- Add Cheese: Take each disc and place a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center. Carefully fold the edges over the cheese, sealing it inside to form a ball. Gently flatten each ball into a pancake shape, making sure the cheese remains inside.
- Cook: Pour a thin layer of cooking oil in a non-stick frying pan and heat over medium heat. Once hot, add the pancakes and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Serve: Remove the pancakes from the pan and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot for the best melty cheese center.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent sticking.
- Ensure the pan is properly heated before cooking to achieve a crisp, golden crust.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning before the inside heats through.
- Experiment with different cheeses for unique flavors.
- Try adding seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder to the batter for extra taste.
- Serve with kimchi, dipping sauces, or other Korean condiments for a complete meal.
