Ingredients

For the potatoes

  • 1 1/2 pounds red skinned potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 5 cloves garlic minced

For the sauce

  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon cooking sake
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon tobanjan (豆板醤) red chili bean paste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Wash the potatoes and cut the potatoes into bite-size, leaving the skin on. Put the potatoes in a medium sized bowl.
  • Add the vegetable oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, black pepper and garlic and toss with a spatula until the potatoes are evenly coated.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminium foil. Spread the coated potatoes out onto the baking sheet. Try not to have the potatoes touch.
  • Bake the potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, then at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes (convection oven). The potatoes should be slightly brown and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, stir together all of the ingredients for the sauce.
  • Add the baked potatoes to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Let the potatoes sit in the sauce for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Serve warm.
