Because what do potatoes NOT pair well with?? I’ll wait.

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine water, soy sauce, and honey. Mix together until honey is dissolved. Set aside.
  2. Heat a large pan to medium-high heat. Add about a tablespoon of oil then toss in baby potatoes. Cook about 5 - 7 minutes or until they’re golden, stirring occasionally.
  3. Pour in the sauce and cook for another 15 - 20 minutes, or until the sauce has absorbed into the potatoes and become a sticky glaze. Remember to stir them occasionally so they don’t burn or get stuck to the pan.
  4. Turn off heat. Drizzle on sesame oil and sprinkle on sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Potatoes: Waxy potatoes like yukon gold or baby red potatoes are perfect for this recipe because they hold their shape better than starchier potatoes like russets.
  • Browning Potatoes: For maximum browning, cut potatoes into halves or quarters to create flat sides. Keep them similar in size for even cooking.
  • Care for Potatoes: As potatoes cook, the skinless sides become tender. Stir gently to prevent splitting or mushiness.
