Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams baby potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon spring onion (chopped, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Wash and boil the baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside. If you pre-boiled or have leftover boiled potatoes, proceed directly to the next step.
In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the butter to the hot oil, allowing it to melt without burning.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the garlicky butter mixture.
Drizzle the soy sauce and honey over the potatoes, stirring to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chili flakes (if using) over the potatoes. Toss again to combine.
Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and coat the potatoes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the potatoes with chopped spring onion.
Serve hot and enjoy your quick and delicious sesame potatoes!
