Why is my Gil gamja dough too hard to pipe?

The dough can be very sticky, making it hard to shape by hand. Using a piping bag makes it much easier to squeeze out the dough and control the size of your korean potato fries.

Is Gil gamja a healthy gluten free snack?

Yes! Because Gil-gamja uses potatoes and tapioca starch instead of wheat, these korean potato fries are a naturally healthy gluten free snack.

Can I make this in an air fryer?

You can, but it will have a completely different texture compared to deep-frying. Your Gil-gamja will be less crispy and have more of a baked flavor than a traditional korean street food recipe.
