Candied Sweet Potato Wedges

If you’ve never had mattang before, your first bite will be a pleasant surprise: break through the crisp, light candy shell to reach the sweet, starchy potato, a wonderful combination. Use Korean sweet potatoes, which are sweeter and drier than American ones. They come in different sizes, but try to get potatoes that are slender and 7.5-10 cm (3-4 in) long. They’re perfect because all you need to do is quarter them.
