How to Make Delicious Savory Seasoned Baked Potatoes
I always used to stew or fry potatoes, but one day I suddenly craved them baked with a savory glaze. So, here is my recipe for ‘Savory Seasoned Baked Potatoes.’ This dish offers a delightful change from typical potato preparations, with a delicious glaze baked right onto the potatoes.
Main Ingredients- 3 potatoes
- A pinch of sesame seeds
Savory Glaze- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp corn syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder)
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 0.5 Tbsp corn syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
- 1 Tbsp oyster sauce
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, let’s prepare the savory glaze. In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of gochugaru, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 0.5 tablespoon of corn syrup, and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined. Taste the glaze and adjust the sweetness or saltiness to your preference by adding a little more sugar or soy sauce as needed.
Step 2
Now, let’s prepare the potatoes. Since we’ll be cooking them with the skin on, wash them thoroughly. You can use a vegetable brush, baking soda, or coarse salt to scrub the skin until it’s clean and free of any dirt or blemishes.
Step 3
Once the potatoes are clean, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Aim for roughly uniform chunks so they cook evenly. It’s important to keep the skins on, as they add a wonderful texture and flavor to the final dish.
Step 4
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a frying pan over medium heat. You want enough oil to ensure the potatoes don’t stick and can achieve a nice golden-brown color. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the cut potatoes into the pan in a single layer if possible.
Step 5
Immediately cover the pan with a lid after adding the potatoes. Covering the pan helps to trap steam and cook the potatoes through evenly, ensuring they become tender on the inside while crisping up on the outside.
Step 6
Cook for about 10-15 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally. Once one side is golden brown and nicely seared, carefully flip the potato pieces to the other side. Continue cooking, flipping as needed, until all sides are golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through.
Step 7
Check if the potatoes are fully cooked by piercing them with a fork; they should be tender. Once cooked, brush the prepared savory glaze generously over the surface of the potatoes. Cook for a minute or two until the glaze is slightly caramelized, then flip and brush the other side. Repeat this glazing and cooking process 3-4 times, ensuring the glaze doesn’t burn, until the potatoes are coated in a glossy, flavorful glaze.
Step 8
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the finished seasoned baked potatoes for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal. Enjoy your delicious, homemade savory seasoned baked potatoes while they’re warm!
