Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Korean Potato Pancakes
  1. Prep Potato Mixture: Peel and grate the russet potatoes into a bowl. Drain excess moisture, then add cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and green onions. Mix well.
  2. Incorporate Cheese: Fold in the grated mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
  3. Heat Pan: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in oil, enough to cover the bottom lightly.
  4. Form and Cook Pancakes: Scoop portions of the potato mixture into the pan, flatten gently. Fry for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, then flip and fry the other side.
  5. Melt Additional Cheese: Sprinkle extra cheese on top of pancakes during cooking for a melted layer.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove pancakes from the pan, drain on paper towels, and garnish with green onions before serving.
