Kimchi Fries
- Recipe Submitted by maryjosh on 11/25/2016
Ingredients List
- 3 large russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Korean chili powder or paprika (optional)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 slices bacon, chopped (optional)
- ⅔ cup Kimchi, roughly chopped
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 scallion, chopped
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut the potatoes into fries and place on a baking sheet. Toss with the olive oil, Korean chili powder (or paprika), and salt and pepper to taste. Bake for 45 minutes, tossing the fries a couple times during baking to make sure they brown evenly.
After the fries have been in the oven for 30 minutes, prep your toppings. In a pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Add the chopped kimchi to the bacon fat in the pan (if you want to make the dish vegetarian, just use a tablespoon of oil), along with the sliced onion and sugar. Stir-fry until caramelized, 10 minutes.
In a baking dish or directly on the baking sheet, sprinkle half the cheese over the fries. Spread the kimchi mixture over that, and then top with the last of the cheese. Broil for 1-2 minutes until melted and gooey. Hit it with the scallions and reserved bacon. Serve!
