Instructions

Prepare the Potatoes

Chop the potatoes into 1-inch by 1-cm thick pieces.

Cook the Potatoes

Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped potatoes and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until lightly golden.

Make the Teriyaki Glaze

Add the brown sugar and soy sauce to the pan with the potatoes.
Stir to combine and coat the potatoes evenly.

Simmer and Finish

Pour in 1 tablespoon of water.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. If the sauce becomes too thick before the potatoes are cooked, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.

Garnish and Serve

Garnish with the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame seeds.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Teriyaki Potatoes

For extra flavor, marinate the potatoes in the soy sauce and brown sugar mixture for 30 minutes before cooking.
If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the teriyaki glaze.
Feel free to experiment with different types of potatoes. Sweet potatoes would also work well in this recipe.
To make these potatoes ahead of time, cook them as directed, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
