Main Ingredients- 2 medium new potatoes
- 5 strips of bacon
- 1 handful of bean sprouts (approx. 50g)
- 2 eggs
- 3 Korean green chili peppers (cheongyang peppers)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Plenty of cooking oil
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Using fresh new potatoes will make your potato pancakes even more delicious! Bean sprouts add a nice texture, but they can be omitted if you prefer.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and thinly julienne them. Slice the bacon into similar-sized strips. This ensures even cooking and a pleasant texture for both ingredients.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the julienned potatoes, bacon, and bean sprouts. Finely chop the Korean green chili peppers (seeds removed, if desired) and add them to the bowl. Crack in the 2 eggs and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp of salt. Mix everything together thoroughly with chopsticks or a spatula until well combined to form the batter.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan over medium-low heat. Use a spoon to scoop portions of the potato batter and place them onto the hot pan, forming round, flat pancakes. Maintaining medium-low heat prevents burning and ensures they cook through.
Step 5
Pan-fry them until golden brown and crispy on both sides. As the potatoes cook, a wonderful savory aroma will fill your kitchen, thanks to the delicious fragrance and the added richness from the bacon.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the beautifully cooked potato pancakes to a serving plate. They are best enjoyed immediately while still warm! You’ll find they disappear incredibly fast – that’s how delicious they are!
Step 7
These potato pancakes offer a delightful combination of savory flavors and a satisfyingly crisp texture! While the base flavor is universally loved, the addition of bean sprouts and bacon brings a unique and special touch. Make your mealtime enjoyable with your family by sharing these delicious pancakes.
