Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 teaspoons soy sauce
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
• 2 scallions, sliced
• 2 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
• 2.5 tablespoons grapeseed oil, divided
• 0.5 medium lime

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Rinse potatoes in a colander to remove excess starch. Drain.

Step 3

Place potatoes into a large microwave-safe bowl. Add 1 tablespoon oil and salt; toss to coat. Cover and microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir, cover again, and microwave until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain.

Step 4

Whisk gochujang, remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes together in the bowl used to cook the potatoes. Return potatoes to the bowl and toss to coat; spread onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5

Roast in the preheated oven, stirring once or twice, until potatoes are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove from the oven and garnish with scallions. Squeeze lime juice over top.
