- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp perilla oil
- Chopped scallions, to taste
- 1/2 Tbsp red pepper flakes (gochugaru)
- Sesame seeds, for garnish

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the potatoes and slice them thinly, about 0.5cm thick. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Having the ingredients prepped makes the cooking process much smoother. Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and stir-fry them lightly until they become translucent. Sautéing the onions first brings out their sweetness, enhancing their harmony with the potatoes. Next, add the potatoes to the pan and pan-fry them until golden brown on both sides over medium-low heat. It’s crucial to adjust the heat properly to prevent the potatoes from burning!
Step 2
Continue to pan-fry the potatoes until they are golden brown on both sides. Cook them with patience so that the outer layer becomes crispy while the inside remains tender. Shaking the pan or flipping the potatoes with a spatula occasionally will ensure they cook evenly, leading to an even more delicious result.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious perilla oil glaze! In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of savory perilla oil, and 1/2 tablespoon of gochugaru (red pepper flakes). Mix them well. Finally, add some chopped scallions and sesame seeds for aromatic flavor, and your special glaze to elevate the potato and onion dish is ready.
Step 4
It’s time to plate your beautifully cooked dish! First, arrange the lightly sautéed onions on the bottom of a serving plate. Next, place the golden-brown pan-fried potatoes on top. Finally, generously drizzle the prepared savory perilla oil glaze over the potatoes. Your super simple and wholesome pan-fried potatoes and onions are now complete, ready to be enjoyed by both your eyes and taste buds. They are especially delicious when served warm!
