Kimchi Potatoes

9 ingredients
6 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fingerling or baby potatoes, rinsed and thoroughly dried
  • sesame oil
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
  • 1.5 cups roughly chopped kimchi
  • 2 tablespoons kimchi juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4-5 drops fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup unsalted dry roasted peanuts, half roughly chopped and the rest crushed
  • salt

Directions

  1. 1
    We recommend serving these potatoes with a garlic aioli for dipping and recommend making the aioli first and setting aside while preparing the potatoes. We prefer this addictive recipe from Epicurious: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/easy-aioli-242695
  2. 2
    In a pot, cover the potatoes and a pinch of salt with water, cover with a lid and bring to a boil. Remove lid and cook at a boil for another 10 minutes or until tender enough to pierce with a fork. Drain, slice in half lengthwise when cool enough to handle, set aside.
  3. 3
    Heat enough sesame oil to cover the bottom of a wide pan or pot over medium. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, for a couple of minutes until they begin getting soft. Add the kimchi and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes until tender.
  4. 4
    Mix in the potatoes, without crushing them, so they're covered in the kimchi mix. Let the potatoes crisp up a bit, stirring every now and then, adding more sesame oil if necessary to avoid burning.
  5. 5
    Once the potatoes are golden brown add in the kimchi juice, soy sauce, fish sauce and a couple pinches of salt, stirring together to combine. Cook for another couple of minutes. Taste and add more salt if needed.
  6. 6
    Remove from heat, garnish with peanuts and scallion greens, and serve with the aioli on the side for dipping.
