To make the potato jeons

Method

  • Step 1

    Place the defrosted hash browns in a kitchen towel, wrap it up, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

  • Step 2

    In a large bowl, mix the potatoes with kimchi, kimchi brine, potato starch, salt, pepper, and egg. Combine thoroughly.

  • Step 3

    Take roughly 3 tablespoons of the mixture, and roll it into a ball, and pat it into roughly 1 1/2-inch thick patties.

  • Step 4

    Heat the oil in a shallow pan to 375°F, ensuring it is at least 1 inch high.

  • Step 5

    Gently place the patties in the pan and fry for around 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and fry the other side until golden brown. Set fried jeons on a paper towel to drain excess oil before serving.
