Ingredients
  

  • 8 medium size russet potatoes with skin on
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or sub with any neutral tasting oil
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon paprika
  • 3-4 tablespoon Japanese mayonnaise or sub with normal mayo
  • 1 cup kimchi chopped
  • 1 green onion finely chopped, for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted kind

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Slice potatoes into ½ x ½ inch thick fries. If you're using white potatoes, rinse them in cold water and strain them - this remove extra starch.

  • Top off with kimchi and drizzle with mayo and sesame oil. Garnish with green onions. Enjoy with suggested optional topping ideas found below in Notes section.
