Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Korean Grater
  • Strainer
  • Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

  • 1 pc Regular Potato
  • 1 pc Korean Sweet Potato
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper Optional
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable or Canola Oil For frying
  • 1 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  • Wash sweet potatoes then air fry at 400F for 40 minutes.
  • Peel the regular potato and grate them using a Korean grater. Strain the grated potato.
  • Let drained water from the potato sit for a couple of minutes so the natural potato starch separates. Drain the potato water while leaving the starch at the bottom.
  • Mash the sweet potatoes but keep them a bit chunky, then add the grated potatoes. Add the natural potato starch as well and mix thoroughly.
  • In high heat, add oil, then spread out the potato mixture evenly. Cook for a minute on each side.
  • In low heat, cook the pancake for a minute on each side. Make sure the middle gets cooked evenly.
  • Lastly, spread butter on the edge of the pan so the pancake gets coated and fried.
  • Cook until the desired doneness is achieved on each side.
  • Serve and enjoy!
