Gamjajeon is a variety of jeon or Korean style pancake made by pan-frying finely grated potato on a frying pan with any type of vegetable oil until golden brown. Potatoes were introduced in Korea in 1824 through Manchuria and have been cultivated mainly in the hills and mountain ranges of Gangwon Province with gamjajeon becoming a specialty of that region. Gamjajeon is traditionally made with only potato salt and oil.
