Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups grated potatoes (approximately 2 medium potatoes)
- 1 cup chopped kimchi
- 1/4 cup finely sliced green onions
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for the spicy sour cream)
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (for the spicy sour cream)
- Salt to taste (for the spicy sour cream)
Instructions
- Start by grating the potatoes and placing them in a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained grated potatoes, kimchi, green onions, flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, take about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture and gently press it into a flat pancake shape before placing it in the skillet. Repeat this process, ensuring you leave enough space between each fritter.
- Cook each fritter for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, gochujang, lime juice, garlic powder, and salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Serve the hot and crispy potato fritters with a generous spoonful of the spicy sour cream on top for a delightful kick.
Notes
- Ensure to remove excess moisture from the grated potatoes for a crispier texture.
- Adjust the spiciness of the sour cream by varying the amount of gochujang.
