Crispy Potato Pancake (20 Minutes only!)

Crispy Potato Pancake

Are you ready for the CRUNCH? Crispy Potato Pancake takes less than 20 minutes to make, and it is super crunchy and delicious!

Plus, Crispy Potato Pancake is gluten-free; you only need a few simple ingredients. Finish off the crispy potato pancake with any seasoning of your choice, and I love using spicy Chinese bbq seasoning!

Give this delicious recipe a try, and I promise you will LOVE it! 

pan fry

There are a few secret tips for making SUPER Crispy Potato Pancake.

The first tip is to shred the potato evenly into thin strips. This will help ensure that all the potatoes are cooked evenly.

shredded potato

Second, rest the potato in ice cold water while you shred the rest of the potato. Resting in water will help wash off the starch, which will help the potato become even more crispy!

ice bath

Third, squeeze out all the excess water. 

cornstarch

And finally, use cornstarch instead of flour. A thin layer of cornstarch won’t weigh down the pancake, making it too “doughy.” 

spices

My favorite way to enjoy Crispy Potato pancakes is with Chinese BBQ seasoning.

The seasoning is savory, umami, and slightly spicy, making it the perfect seasoning for the crispy potato pancake. You can pre-mix the seasoning and store it in a jar. The seasoning also tastes delicious with meat!

Chinese BBQ seasoning is a mixture of cumin, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, white pepper, salt, grounded Sichuan peppercorn, and five-spice powder.

You can adjust the ratio to your own liking, and I do a 1:1 ratio of everything except for salt. Add the salt in the end, depending on your liking. 

seasoning

You can pre-make the crispy potato pancake in bulk, cut it up, and air-fry to reheat throughout the week.

I made 3 servings last week, and my husband had 2 slices for breakfast every day and loved it! All you need to do is Air fry at 380 for 4 minutes, and it is good to go.

I did a blog post breaking down and comparing the top 4 selling air fryers on Amazon based on pricing, size, function, and even a crispy chicken wings test! So if you are interested in buying an air fryer, check out the blog post!

Ingredients 

  • 4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled 
  • ½ cup of cornstarch 
  • Salt and pepper to taste 

*** RATIO: every potato = ⅛ cup of cornstarch

Seasoning: 
  • Cumin
  • Paprika
  • Chili powder
  • Garlic powder
  • White pepper
  • Salt
  • Grounded Sichuan peppercorn
  • Five-spice powder

*** 1:1 ratio of everything except for salt. Add the salt in the end, depending on your liking. 

  1. Shred the potato evenly into thin strips. While you shred the rest of the potato, let it rest in ice-cold water. Make sure all the potato is soaked inside. 
  2. Once the potato is shredded, squeeze out all the excess water, and pat dry. 
  3. Add in cornstarch and season with salt and pepper. Mix well, and ensure every piece of potato has a little bit of corn starch and is not clumped together. 
  4. Drizzle in a little bit of oil in a pan, and add in the potato. Press down to ensure it’s tightly packed. Turn the heat to medium, and once sizzling, pan-fry for 8 minutes on each side. 
  5. Optional, but if you want it extra crispy on the edges, drizzle a little bit of oil on the side. 
  6. Finish off with any seasoning of your choice, and enjoy!

    About Me
    Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
    I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
