I made some kind of vegetable egg fritter-omelette recently and now I am thinking…if I had added in the flour, maybe it would have become Korean veggie pancakes. And probably the flour would have made it crisp too! 🙂

I wonder if you can substitute with potato starch instead of doing all that work with shredding and filtering the potato.

Amy: This recipe needs potato puree as well as its leftover starch to add flavour and texture to these pancakes. Thus, it is better to do it from scratch. 🙂

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have made it twice now, one batch the first time, basically following the recipe. I had to substitute Delicata Squash for the Pumpkin and Celery for the Zucchini. I’m crazy for celery, so I had to get it in some way and I didn’t have any pumpkin. Both my DH and I really liked it and it reminded us of living in Korea and some of our great experiences.The second time I made it (it was the same day) I tripled the recipe. We both wanted some for an after dinner snack and for lunch the next day. I took a leeway with the recipe and used two very large leeks, 5 cloves of garlic, and red bell peppers, Delicata, zucchini, and celery. I also added sesame oil to the batter for the oil, a little soy sauce for a little of the water, reduced the salt, added some red pepper flakes for some heat, and let the potato water sit for about 10 minutes to get more starch out of it. The veggies were more than half leeks, I was thinking of scallion pancakes! I cooked up one small one and DH declared them ‘Great!’. So I cooked medium-large pancakes, about 3 per recipe, that way I could turn them with a spatula, and not have to try to turn over my cast iron skillet! It’s just too heavy! I still had one pancake left over from the first batch so I tried them side-by-side and it was a toss up. I preferred the first batch-plainer with my homemade sauce recipe from way back, but I preferred the second batch-seasoned with your sauce recipe or plain. So I guess we both have winners here. Now I want to try to crisp it up a little more! I may add a little potato starch from a bag to see if that helps. I also want to try some with my homemade Kimchi. And with my homemade Carrot-Diakon pickles, adding celery and leeks, of course, lol! Thanks again.

I wonder why we get rid of nutrient rich potato juice in step 4 and replace it with water in step 5 ?

Nat: That’s the common way to make this pancake. Maybe the juice will oxidize and affect the taste of the pancake. Just my wild guess :). You can add the potato juice instead of water if you like.

Hihi. I just tried this recipe and it’s nice! Just a question, how do I make it crispy as I tried both pportions using different thickness and fire level . Somehow it’s only crispy on the outer layer and not in the middle portion. Thanks alot!

WL: Make sure the pan is hot when you pour the mixture. Use your spatula to press the pancake, especially the middle part, firmly onto the pan to get it cooked. Hope it helps! 🙂

How well do these do second day. Just made a batch and wondering if I can save some for breakfast and if they’d still be crispy.

Nicole: Pancakes must be eaten immediately. After a while, they will loose their crispiness. 🙂
