These Korean Cheese Pancakes are a popular street food that combines crispy, golden-brown potatoes with gooey mozzarella cheese. Perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or snack, these pancakes deliver a satisfying combination of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 250 g peeled potatoes
  • 50 g mozzarella cheese (shredded or cubed)
  • 20 g brown sugar
  • 25 g cornstarch (or cornflour)
  • Cooking oil (for frying)
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes:
    Peel and grate the potatoes using a grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Set aside.
  2. Mix the Ingredients:
    In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, brown sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together like dough.
  3. Shape the Dough:
    Divide the potato mixture into small portions. Flatten each portion into a disc shape. Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over the cheese, sealing it inside, and gently flatten it into a pancake shape.
  4. Cook the Pancakes:
    Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add cooking oil. Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve:
    Drain the cooked pancakes on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite condiments or a side of kimchi.

Notes

  • If you want extra crispiness, use a bit more cornstarch in the mixture.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with other cheeses like cheddar for a different flavor.
  • Serve with dipping sauces such as soy sauce or a spicy chili sauce for added flavor.
