@ElsieDee Shakey’s Japan posted their Mojo potatoes recipe in Japanese on Twitter, but a news site translated it into English and published it here: Shakey’s Japan releases Mojo Potato recipe to keep home cooks happy during coronavirus outbreak | SoraNews24 -Japan News-

As for Mini Kabob’s fried potatoes, they might look similar to Shakey’s fried potatoes, but they don’t have the breaded crust like on the famed pizza parlor’s version.
