📌 Ingredients:
- 2 medium yellow or red potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil for more flavor)
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce (optional, for deeper color)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp honey or corn syrup
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 stalk green onion (chopped, optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
🍳 Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes: Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces). Rinse and soak them in cold water for 5–10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain.
- Cook the potatoes: Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and sauté for 3–5 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add seasoning: Add garlic, soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), sugar, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer and glaze: Let the potatoes simmer uncovered over medium heat until the sauce thickens and the potatoes are tender, about 12–15 minutes. Stir occasionally to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Add sweetness: Once the liquid has mostly reduced, drizzle in honey or corn syrup. Stir to glaze the potatoes.
- Garnish and serve: Turn off the heat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions (if using). Serve warm or at room temperature.
