Description
Kimchi Potatoes is a deliciously unique side dish that combines the flavor of crispy potatoes with the tangy and spicy kick of kimchi.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes
- Salt for boiling
- 2 Tbsp. neutral cooking oil
- 2 cups napa cabbage kimchi, roughly chopped (plus 2 Tbsp. kimchi brine)
- 4 to 5 chopped scallions, white and pale green parts separated from vibrant tops
- 3 Tbsp. lower-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1 tsp. fish sauce
- 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
- 3/4 cup plain full-fat or 2% Greek yogurt
- 1 large garlic clove, grated
- Sliced avocado and/or a crispy fried egg (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Place the potatoes in a large pot and fill with enough water to cover by 1 inch; add ~1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer, uncovered, for 12 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender. Drain and set aside to slightly cool.
- Meanwhile, combine kimchi brine, soy sauce (or tamari), and fish sauce in a small jar or bowl; set aside.
- Once cool enough to handle, cut potatoes into chunks (about 1×1-inch in size).
- Heat oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and cook until golden and crisp, about 9 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in kimchi along with the white and pale green parts of scallions; cook 5 to 6 minutes, until the kimchi is nicely caramelized.
- Add soy sauce mixture and cook 2 more minutes, stirring often, until the sauce reduces and coats potatoes.
- Stir in sesame seeds and garnish with remaining bright green parts of scallions.
- In a small bowl, combine yogurt with grated garlic. Add a dollop of garlicky yogurt to each serving of kimchi potatoes.
- Enjoy with garnishes of choice (sliced avocado and/or fried or soft-boiled egg), if desired.
Notes
- For a vegan option, omit the fish sauce.
- Adjust the amount of kimchi to taste for spiciness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days.
