Instructions

1
Wash the baby potatoes and cut them in half. Mince the garlic cloves.
2
In a measuring cup or bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, and honey. Mix well and set aside.
3
Heat cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the halved potatoes and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they start to brown.
4
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5
Pour the sauce mixture into the pan, ensuring all the potatoes are coated. Bring to a simmer.
6
Continue to cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft and fork-tender, and the sauce has reduced to a thick glaze.

Stir in the sesame seeds until evenly distributed.
8
Transfer to a serving bowl, garnish with chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cut baby potatoes in half to maximize surface area for browning and ensure even cooking in 12–15 minutes.
Let potatoes develop a light golden crust before adding the glaze; this adds depth to the final dish.
Mince garlic finely and add it near the end of cooking to prevent burning and preserve its pungent flavor.
Reduce the heat to medium-low once you add the glaze to prevent it from scorching and to allow the potatoes to absorb the flavors.

Substitutions

Soy sauce → tamari or coconut aminos (maintains umami without gluten or soy)
Honey → maple syrup or agave nectar (1:1 ratio, though flavor profile shifts slightly)
Sesame seeds → crushed peanuts or sliced almonds (for garnish crunch)
Green onions → fresh cilantro or chives (for a different fresh herb accent)

Storage & make-ahead

Store cooled potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water to restore the glaze.
