Kim Dae-seok's Boiled Red Potatoes

A pro tip for boiling potatoes: marinate them in a sweet-savory brine so the flavor penetrates all the way through, then gently rock the pot to create a generous amount of fluffy white powder on the surface.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating the potatoes in salt and new sugar water for 20 minutes before boiling ensures the flavor penetrates deep into the flesh.
  • For potatoes boiled with the skin on, make a cross-shaped cut before steaming to easily remove the skin after cooking.
  • At the final stage, when most of the water has evaporated, turn off the heat and gently rock the pot to evenly distribute a soft, powdery coating on the potato surface.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate the nostalgic, fluffy steamed potatoes from rural childhood at home.
  • People curious about how to properly season potatoes all the way through while boiling.
  • Families looking for a summer treat to enjoy together.
