Ingredients

• 500 g Baby potatoes
• 60 ml Soy sauce
• 30 ml Mirin
• 15 ml Honey
• 15 ml Sesame oil
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 5 g Fresh ginger, grated
• 60 ml Water
• 10 g Cornstarch
• 15 ml Vegetable oil
• 5 g Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 10 g Green onions, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Wash and scrub the baby potatoes thoroughly. If the potatoes are larger, cut them into bite-sized pieces; otherwise, leave them whole.

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and parboil the potatoes for 7-10 minutes, or until they are just fork-tender. Drain and set them aside.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water to create the teriyaki sauce base. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water to make a slurry. Set both aside.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the parboiled potatoes to the skillet and sauté them, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy on all sides.

Step 5

Once the potatoes are golden, reduce the heat to medium and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture into the skillet. Stir well to coat the potatoes evenly.

Step 6

Simmer the sauce with the potatoes for about 3-4 minutes. Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet and stir continuously until the sauce thickens and glazes the potatoes evenly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat. Optional: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for garnish.

Step 8

Serve the Teriyaki Potatoes hot as a side dish or even as a standalone snack. Enjoy!
