That caramelized crust looks amazing and absolutely irresistible!
Looks good, no ingredient that I am not a fan of in Korean cuisine. Wouldn’t mind giving it a try.
These sound delicious! We’ve done a similar combination of ingredients for salmon, but I’ve never thought it for potatoes. Putting this on the list for a fun side dish!!

I think I would actually serve these as an appetizer, as well as a side dish. Great flavors.
