Sweet, savory, and satisfyingly sticky—Korean Braised Potatoes (Gamja Jorim) is a classic Korean side dish made with tender potatoes braised in a soy-based glaze. Traditionally served as part of a banchan (small side dish) spread, this insanely easy side dish makes for a great snack as well. This recipe uses Little Mini Yellows™ that pairs perfectly with the sweet-salty glaze. 

Notes: If making this recipe gluten-free, be sure to swap the soy sauce with a gluten-free version.
