Peel the potatoes and julienne them into thin matchstick-sized pieces. Rinse the potatoes in a bowl of cold water to remove excess starch, then drain.
Finely mince the garlic and chop the green onion into small rounds. Set them aside.
Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the julienned potatoes to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute.
Pour 1 cup of water into the pan and cover with a lid. Let the potatoes steam for about 3-4 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight bite. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking, and add more water if needed.
Once the water has evaporated, reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, the minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to evenly coat the potatoes with the seasoning.
Sprinkle the chopped green onion and sesame seeds over the potatoes, then give a final stir. Adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
Remove the pan from heat and transfer the seasoned potatoes to a serving plate or bowl. Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish.
