This Man's Cook's Gamja Mattang
A nutritious snack that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, made by cooking potatoes in the microwave to cook them through without using much oil, pan-frying them until golden brown, and tossing them in a sugar and grain syrup.
Ingredients needed 2 servings

Cooking tips
- Boiling them in water causes the edges to break and absorbs more oil, so the secret tip is to microwave them to retain moisture while cooking them through to the inside.
- If you stir the sugar syrup with a spoon, the sugar will crystallize and harden, so leave it alone over medium-low heat to melt naturally for a smooth syrup.
- The finished mattang can be cooled at room temperature, but placing it in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes prevents the syrup from being sticky and makes the coating even crispier.
Recommended for
- Those who want to taste a savory, mild, sweet-and-salty snack that is different from sweet potato mattang.
- Those who find the large amount of oil and cleanup of deep-frying burdensome.
- Those who want to make a quick and easy sweet dessert with leftover potatoes at home.
