  3. Remove the boiled potatoes and drain off excess moisture.
  4. Melt a generous amount of butter in a heated pan, then add the boiled potatoes.

  8. Toss the potatoes while stirring, then drizzle with oligosaccharide to add shine and extra sweetness before finishing.
  1. Wash baby potatoes thoroughly and boil them in water until done, then drain.
  2. Heat a pan with butter and sauté the boiled potatoes.
  3. Cover the pan and roast for 4 minutes to achieve a buttery coating.
  4. Sprinkle sugar, seasoning salt, and oligosaccharide in sequence to build the sweet-savory taste.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Covering the pan while roasting the potatoes in butter allows the rich butter aroma to penetrate deeply and creates a chewy texture on the outside.
  • Skewer three baby potatoes on a toothpick for eating—this enhances the roadside snack experience.
