Frankly I have no idea whether this is originally a Chinese dish or a Korean dish. We were served a big tray of this shredded potatoes in a Chinese New Year party that we attended. I was seriously surprised that a dish that looked so unappealing and plain can be so tasty. I didn't even want to try it at first but I told myself that I have to try every dish there and be adventurous. I tried it and couldn't help but went back for a second! Interestingly this dish is also served as a banchan in Korean restaurants. Evy fell in love with this banchan and I wished I know how to make it. I always looking for easy banchan to serve with my Korean meal, but I think nothing is easy when you have to make a few in a day. Anyway, this is my version and it tasted a little bit different and I have no idea why, do you think they par-boiled the shredded potatoes first? Outcome is all of us loved this plain potato dish and that's what matter most.
