Gamjajeon -Potato Pancake
Potato lovers, this one’s for you.
serving size: 2
- 2 large potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 few strips of shredded zucchini *
- vegetable oil
Grates the potatoes into a large bowl. Quickly add all-purpose flour and salt and stir to mix (grated potato will darken in color fairly quickly; to avoid this, have the flour ready and add as quickly as possible). Heat a large nonstick frying pan and add some vegetable oil. Put half of the batter on the frying pan and make about 6-inch circle (about 1/4-inch thick). Sprinkle on the shredded zucchini. Cook over medium heat for about one minute or until the bottom turns brown. Using a spatula, flip the pancake over and the add more vegetable oil to avoid any sticking. Continue cooking until both sides are golden brown or fully cooked. Make another pancake with the rest of batter by repeating these steps.
*You can use just about anything for this ingredient, including crab meat, red or green bell pepper strips, scallions, etc.
