Korean Inspired Sweet Potato and Kimchi Fritters

In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, chopped kimchi (squeeze out excess liquid beforehand), flour, cornstarch, egg (if using), green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Flatten them slightly with a spatula.

Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
