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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the butter to the hot oil, allowing it to melt without burning.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the garlicky butter mixture.

Step 6

Drizzle the soy sauce and honey over the potatoes, stirring to ensure they are evenly coated.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chili flakes (if using) over the potatoes. Toss again to combine.

Step 8

Continue cooking for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and coat the potatoes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish the potatoes with chopped spring onion.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your quick and delicious sesame potatoes!
