Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help achieve a crispier texture.
• Green onions — If you prefer a milder onion flavor, you can reduce the amount of green onions or substitute them with chives.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra crispiness, you can add a small amount of cornstarch to the batter.
• Serve the pancakes immediately after frying to maintain their crispy texture.
• Experiment with different dipping sauces such as spicy gochujang sauce or a sweet and sour sauce for variety.

Serving advice

Serve the Crispy Korean Potato Pancakes as a snack, appetizer, or side dish. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy, accompanied by a dipping sauce.

Presentation advice

Arrange the pancakes on a platter, garnish with some additional chopped green onions, and serve with the dipping sauce on the side. The golden color of the pancakes will be visually appealing and inviting.
