Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1/4 cup kimchi, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the grated potatoes before mixing them with the other ingredients. This will help ensure that your latkes are crispy and not soggy.
- Use a non-stick pan or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for frying to prevent the latkes from sticking.
- Keep the latkes warm in a 200°F oven while you finish frying the rest of the batch.
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated potatoes, flour, kimchi, green onions, egg, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Using a spoon or your hands, form the potato mixture into small patties and carefully place them in the hot oil.
4. Fry the latkes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Remove the latkes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
6. Serve the latkes hot with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of soy sauce, if desired.
