Step-by-Step Instructions for Korean Cheese Pancake

  2. Place the shreds in a clean towel and squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure a crispy texture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with 20 g of brown sugar, 25 g of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Blend until it forms a consistent dough-like texture.
  4. Divide the potato mixture into portions, flatten each into a disc, and place 10 g of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center. Fold the edges over to seal.
  5. Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
