You can actually cut the marble potatoes in half if you prefer. Since I want a big bite of the potatoes, I am leaving it as it is.
First, we fry the potatoes, to make sure that they are cooked before we braise it later. As you fry, the skin of the potatoes will be brown and wrinkly. And that’s a good sign that the potatoes are cooking. If the potatoes passed the fork test, it is now ready for braising. Add the garlic, soy sauce and sugar and stir well to make a sauce. Make sure to coat the potatoes with the sauce as you braise them. When the sauce is super thick and all of it almost sticks to the potatoes, then you are done. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds and enjoy it with your favorite samgyup! Happy eating!
