A light snack made by removing starch and moisture from thinly sliced potatoes, threading them onto skewers, and cooking them in the microwave. Because they are not fried in oil, they are clean and light, and the short cooking time makes them easy to prepare. It is important to watch them carefully as they can burn after 6 minutes.

Steps
Peel the potatoes (sweet potatoes) and slice them thinly. Use a mandoline slicer if you have one.
Soak them in cold water to remove starch.
Place the potatoes (sweet potatoes) on a dry dishcloth or paper towels and remove the moisture.
If you microwave them while still wet, it takes longer and they will not cook properly.
You do not need to salt the potatoes, but sprinkling a little sugar on the sweet potatoes will make them tastier.
Thread the potatoes onto long skewers for sanjeok and microwave them.
I microwaved them for about 8 minutes, but you should adjust the time depending on the thickness of the potatoes and your microwave's power.
Keep an eye on the microwave once it has been running for 6 minutes or more. They can burn in an instant.
Also, if you slice the potatoes (sweet potatoes) too thinly, they will droop and stick together after 3-4 minutes.
A thickness of about 2 mm will be just right.
If baking in an oven, bake at 180 °C for 15-20 minutes.
