- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Peel (if desired) and cut the potatoes into thin strips (1/4 inch thick). Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch.
- Soak the Fries: Submerge the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes to enhance crispiness.

- Fry Until Golden: Fry the soaked potatoes in batches for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding.
- Toss with Sauce: Transfer hot fries to a bowl and drizzle with sesame oil and Gochujang sauce; toss until well-coated.

Keywords: For extra crispiness, consider double-frying the potatoes—first at a lower temperature, then again at a higher temperature. Feel free to substitute regular potatoes with sweet potatoes or top with cheese for added flavor.
