Ingredients:
- 1.1 lbs (500g) Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed into ½ inch pieces
- 1 tbsp (15ml) neutral oil
- 1 tbsp (15g) toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tsp (5ml) toasted sesame oil
- 3 tbsp (45ml) low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
- 1 tbsp (15ml) water
- 1 tsp (5g) minced garlic
- ½ tsp (2g) black pepper
Instructions:
- Heat the neutral oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed potatoes and sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the edges are golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, maple syrup, water, minced garlic, and black pepper.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the seared potatoes. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
- Remove the lid and increase heat to medium. Stir constantly as the liquid reduces into a syrupy glaze that coats the potatoes.
- Once the sauce has reduced by half and the potatoes look glossy, remove from heat. Stir in the toasted sesame oil and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
