Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients for Potatoes:
- 4 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes (or other waxy potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- Salt to taste
For the Korean Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon green onions (sliced for garnish)
Ingredient Notes:
- For a vegan option, swap honey for maple syrup or agave syrup.
- Gochujang can be substituted with chili paste mixed with soy sauce for a milder heat.
- Sesame oil adds a rich, nutty flavor but olive oil can be used as a substitute.
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the potatoes and cut them into small cubes or wedges. Toss them in 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil and season with salt.
- Roast the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and crispy.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir over medium heat until the sauce is warm and the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Toss the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a bowl and pour the warm sauce over them. Toss gently to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish. Serve hot as a side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use high heat: Roasting at a high temperature ensures crispy potatoes without drying them out.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan: Give the potatoes enough space on the baking sheet for even roasting.
- Adjust the sauce: Taste the sauce before tossing with potatoes, adding more heat or sweetness as needed.
- Make it extra spicy: Add more gochujang or drizzle chili oil on top for extra heat.
