What is a Potato pancake?

Potato pancakes are shallow-fried pancakes made from shredded or crushed potatoes, matzo meal or flour, and a binder like egg or applesauce. They are frequently seasoned and flavoured with minced garlic or onion. They can be eaten simply or with a variety of toppings, including both savoury and sweet ones. 

A potato starch and grated potato mixture is pan-fried in oil to create the Korean pancake known as gamja-jeon. It can be prepared without any other ingredients, however occasionally onion, chilli, and perilla leaf are added. It is usually seasoned with a little salt and served with soy sauce.


How to make Potato Pancake

1. Start by grating the potatoes and onion in a bowl. In that bowl crack an egg, season it with salt and pepper, mix these three together to form a cohesive mixture.
