Gamja-jeon[1] (Korean: 감자전) or potato pancakes[1] is a variety of jeon, or Korean style pancake, made by pan-frying finely grated potato on a frying pan with oil until golden brown.
[2] The tubers have been cultivated mainly in the hills and mountain ranges of Gangwon Province, with gamjajeon becoming a specialty of that region.
[3] Gamjajeon is traditionally made with only potato, salt, and oil.
[4] According to taste, the grated potato may be supplemented with finely shredded potatoes, carrots, onions or scallions, sliced mushrooms, or garlic chives, which adds color and crunchy texture to the dish.
[3] Gamjajeon can also be garnished with shredded fresh red and green chili pepper.
