The secret to delicious sweet soy-braised baby potatoes or Algamja-jorim is a crunch outer layer and a soft and fluffy inside.
It’s a great side dish! Perfect those who do not eat spicy food. I personally love this side dish because I like sweet food and potatoes. It doesn’t get any simpler than that.
You can make these ahead of time, store in the fridge, and eat them within a week or so. You can heat them up before eating or have it cold, my favorite way.
