Easy & Simple Asian Sesame Smashed Potatoes
Description
Easy & Simple Asian Sesame Smashed Potatoes start with baby potatoes parboiled until fork tender, then gently smashed to flatten. The potatoes are brushed generously with a mix of soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil, which imbues a balance of salty, sweet, and nutty notes. After an initial baking period, they are basted again to enhance flavor and texture, then baked further to develop a crisp, caramelized crust while the centers remain tender.
The garnish of finely chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds adds a fresh, aromatic finish. These potatoes make a satisfying side that pairs well with a variety of meals needing a touch of Asian seasoning or simply a tasty vegetable side.
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb baby potato
- ¼ cup soy sauce regular
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 green onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, combine regular soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil until the syrup has dissolved. Set aside.
- Parboil the baby potatoes for 10-15 minute until fork tender. Strain the potatoes in a colander.
- Transfer the potatoes onto a lined baking sheet into a single layer. Gently flatten potatoes with a potato masher or the back of a cup.
- Using a cooking brush, baste each baby potato with the soy sauce glaze. Sprinkle green onions on top.
- Bake for 10 minutes on the middle rack. Remove the pan from the oven and baste again.
