Gamja Jeon (Korean potato pancakes) with Kimchi Gamja jeon is a variety of jeon, or Korean style pancake, made with potatoes. Jeon is usually eaten as an appetizer, banchan (small side dish) or anju (food to eat while drinking). It’s a great vehicle to soak up all the alcohol. While the gamja jeon is made with potatoes, other types of jeon are made with flour or egg batter. Most popular are bindaetteok (mung bean pancake), pajeon (green onion pancake) and kimchijeon. Yield: 10 to 12 small pancakes

The Ingredients

1. 4 large potato

2. pureéd 2 pcs egg

2. 1/2 cup of fresh milk

3. 1 tsp salt

4. 1 tsp sugar

5. 2 tbsp sticky rice flour

6.  a little green onion

7.  2 sprigs of scallions

8. chopped Vegetable

9. oil for frying

10.  Dipping Sauce

Sauce  Ingredients:

 1.  1 tbsp of soy sauce

2.  1 tbsp of rice vinegar

3.  1 tbsp of chili sauce

The procedures

 1. Purée one large peeled and rough chopped potato.

2. Strain the puréed potato, make sure to reserve the liquid. Set the strained purée to the side. Let the reserved liquid sit for 1 to 2 minutes. During that time, the reserved liquid will separate, with the potato starch sinking to the bottom. Pour out the water and keep the potato starch at the bottom of the bowl.

 3. Pour the strained potato purée into the same bowl with potato starch. Add the minced kimchi and chopped scallions. Give it a good mix. You may have to the scrap the bottom of the bowl to get all the potato starch thoroughly incorporated.

 4. Oil your frying pan, and heat over low heat. Spoon the potato mix into the pan, forming 2” discs, with a thickness of ⅓”. Cook until the bottom is browned. Flip the discs and press down with a spatula. Continue cooking until the other side is golden brown.

 5. Mix the dipping sauce in small bowl. Add more or less chili sauce based on your tolerance.

 6. Serve hot with dipping sauce.

Enjoy! Notes: I know gamja jeon is specifically potato pancake. Not sure if there’s a different name for this potato pancake variation. If you don’t like kimchi, feel free to omit and go traditional with just potatoes. You can also try adding carrots, onions, mushrooms or garlic chives.
