Korean Potato Side Dish 감자 조림 (Optional Spicy)

감자 조림 "GamJa-JoRim"

Hello Whimsical Readers,

Its time to start cooking and this being our first recipe, I, F~ have decided to make a Korean side dish (감자 조림) its pronounced as "GamJa-JoRim".

(감자 조림) "GamJa-JoRim" is a super easy dish to make which takes around 25 minutes to prepare, cook and serve. It is a slightly sweet dish because of the corn syrup and an optional spicy dish, for those who like some spice in their food.

I got this dish off the internet when I was looking for some Korean recipes and found this. Personally, it is also fitting for a first post because J~ loves potato, anything and everything potato. Haha. So I would like to dedicate this dish to my bestie, J~. Luv ya!

So down to the recipe, you don't have to be totally accurate on it unless its something like baking, then I would advise you to follow to the dot. I remember screwing up a cake but that's for another time. ;)

6 Potatoes (cut into cubes)
3 Tbsp Cooking Oil
2 Tsp Sesame Oil
