Here is the recipe for crispy potatoes that I made for dinner tonight.  I also made green beans and reheated some fried chicken, but the potatoes were the best thing. They were creamy on the inside and nice and crispy golden on one side. 

Small red potatoes- 1 lb oven at 400 F

Remove any growing eyes or bad spots. Chop into small pieces. Cut in half & then each half into 3 or 4. Soak the cut ones in water while cutting the rest to prevent browning.

Dump water & oil the pan. Spray w avocado oil. Season potatoes w salt & msg.

Cook 20 min & stir on pan.

Cook 20 more mins. Use metal spatula to get crispy bits/stuck ones off. Add black pepper & taste for seasoning. Add more salt if needed.

Serves 3 plates as a side

I made 2 Korean dishes both from Maangchi recipes for dinner last night. One is fairly familiar & easy, garlic green beans, but the other was new and a bit more complicated.  Spicy Braised chicken 
I made some adjustments, as usual. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts & I used applesauce instead of sliced apple. I also used American style red pepper flakes instead of Korean since that is what I had at home.  For the garlic green beans I used frozen instead of fresh and I thawed/cooked them very briefly in the microwave before adding them to the cooked garlic and oil in the hot pan. You finish it with sesame oil, off the heat which was the main difference from how I normally make garlic green beans. 

I served them together over rice in a bowl and they were good. Next time I make this I will make enough for leftovers & used sliced apple. If you want to try out Korean home cooking Maangchi has been making YouTube videos for years. She is a Korean immigration who lives in NYC(I think) so she has knowledge of traditional Korean cooking & how to adapt it to available ingredients in the US.
