The World in Potato Dishes

12. Gamja-jeon – South Korea

Easily found as an appetizer in many South Korean restaurants, you can add several toppings like carrots, chopped scallions, mushrooms, and even garlic chives. Gamja-jeon is delicious by itself, but many serve the dish with a soy sauce and vinegar combination called choganjang for an extra kick.
