Directions
1. Take a pan, add 10 baby potatoes into it with water and salt. Once the water starts to boil, cook them for about 15 to 20 minutes on high heat. After 15 minutes prick the potatoes with a fork or chopstick to check if it is done. If the chopstick goes in smoothly it is done.
2. Once cooked drain away the left over water if any.
3. In a pan melt 1 or 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the cooked potatoes into the heated pan and fry them on medium heat. Turn them occasionally so that the potatoes becomes evenly brown in color. When they all turn golden brown they are done.
4. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on them only if needed. Garnish by sprinkling some parsley
SERVING
5. Serve warm and fresh with a dipping sauce of your choice.
TIP
It is important to fry the cooked potatoes on medium heat and not on high heat so that they absorb the butter flavor well and do not burn.
Editors Review
Those of you who have been to Korea may have tasted these potatoes at the rest stops which are along the highways. This rest stop potato snack also makes a delicious side dish or appetizer when served with a dipping sauce. It is nothing but baby potatoes fried in salted butter until crispy golden and tender!Chef
