Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g peeled potatoes
- 50 g mozzarella cheese (shredded or cut into cubes)
- 20 g brown sugar
- 25 g cornstarch (or cornflour)
- Cooking oil (for frying)
- A pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Peel and grate 250 g of potatoes. Squeeze out excess water and set the grated potatoes aside.
- Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, 20 g brown sugar, 25 g cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape Dough: Divide the potato mixture into small portions. Flatten each portion into a small disc.
- Add Cheese: Place a small amount of the 50 g shredded mozzarella in the center of each disc. Fold the edges over the cheese to seal it inside, forming a ball, and then flatten slightly into a pancake shape.
- Cook: Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Serve: Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
Notes
- Use a non-stick skillet or griddle to prevent the pancake from sticking.
- Ensure the skillet is properly heated before adding the pancakes.
- You can experiment with different cheeses or add seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder for extra flavor.
- Serve with kimchi or other condiments for an authentic touch.
