Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 750 grams New potatoes (baby potatoes)
- 4 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and scrub the new potatoes to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel, and leave their skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut the potatoes in half (or quarters, if they're larger) to ensure even cooking.
Spread the potatoes across a large roasting tin in a single layer. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes, then sprinkle them with the salt and ground black pepper. Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.
Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife, leaving their skins on. Scatter them across the baking tray among the potatoes.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 25 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the sticky glaze. In a small bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, and fresh thyme leaves.
After the initial 25 minutes of roasting, remove the tray from the oven and pour the honey-soy mixture over the potatoes. Toss everything gently to coat the potatoes in the sticky glaze.
Return the tray to the oven for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden and sticky, with a caramelized surface.
Remove the tray from the oven and let the potatoes cool for a minute or two. Squeeze the softened garlic cloves out of their skins and mix them back into the potatoes, discarding the skins.
Serve the sticky garlic potatoes warm as a side dish, or enjoy them on their own for a simple, satisfying meal.
