This dish is inspired by leftover mashed potatoes! Like all potato pancakes, these are crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, but with a delicious twist of kimchi and all the best aromatics to go with it!

Ingredients
Pancake ingredients
- 150 g kimchi
- 120 g mashed potato
- 40 g all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 5 g kimchi juice (optional)
- 5 cm leek (diced)
- 5 g dried chives (or 3x, if fresh)
- 2 g salt
- 1.5 g sugar
- .5 g ground black pepper
- 30 ml canola oil (approximate — for cooking)
Dipping sauce
- 15 ml white wine vinegar
- 15 ml honey
- 15 ml garlic (crushed)
Instructions
Make the batter
- Dice the kimchi
- Starting with the wet ingredients, mix all ingredients together until smooth
- Separately mix together all ingredients of dipping sauce and set aside (remember to stir it before serving)
Cook
- Coat pan with canola oil and bring to medium heat
- Spoon mixture into cakes about ⅓-inch (1 cm) thick — it's easy to use a cutter or cooking ring (4½ inch diameter) to make them uniform
- Flip when the bottom is solidified and starting to lighten in color
- Cook for about another 2½ minutes, or until the pancake is firm on the bottom and beginning to spot
- Serve immediately, with the dipping sauce on the side
Notes
These do reheat pretty easily, but the batter will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, too. This isn’t a bad thing to keep on hand and make fresh any time you want them.
