          - frying

 A crunchy sweet favorite from the streets of Korea.

 Add your frying oil to a Dutch oven or cast iron pan over high heat
 and bring to 350°F (when a tiny piece of potato dropped in comes
 right to the surface). Fry your potatoes in batches and let them cool
 on a wire rack. If you don't want to deep fry the potatoes, preheat
 your oven to 450°F. Coat the potato pieces with a little bit of oil
 and place them in the preheated oven. Cook until they are fork tender
 (mine took about 45 minutes).

 To a large pan over low heat, add 2 tb of oil. Use a brush to make
 sure the oil evenly coats the pan. Then, add your sugar. Allow the
 sugar to melt without touching it. When the sugar starts to dissolve,
 lift your pan off the heat and swivel to move the melting sugar
 around without touching it. Then place it back on the heat. Continue
 doing this for about 10 minutes, until your sugar has turned into a
 rich brown, caramel-y color.

 Drop your miso paste into the sugar and using a spoon, dissolve it
 into the caramel. Remove your mixture from heat. Add the fried sweet
 potatoes and stir with a spoon until they are evenly coated.

 Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and separate
 before they cool (if you want--I just transferred them onto a plate
 and pulled them apart as I ate them). Once cooled (about 5 minutes),
 place on your serving plate. Garnish with sea salt and black sesame
 seeds.
