Ingredients

• Potatoes - 300 grams
• Carrot - 50 grams
• Green onion - 2 stalks
• All-purpose flour - 3 tablespoons
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - for frying

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. Grate the carrot and finely chop the green onions.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated carrot, chopped green onions, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom.
5. Scoop about 1/4 cup of the potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it gently with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
7. Once cooked, place the pancakes on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve hot with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of your choice.
