"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. It has been a local specialty of Gangwon Province, Korea and is made only with potato, salt, and oil.

"Gamjajeon" can be garnished with shredded fresh red and green chili pepper. It is served with a dipping sauce called "choganjang" (초간장), made of soy sauce and vinegar.
