Sticky Teriyaki Glazed Potatoes
Roasted baby potatoes are one of my go-to side dishes. Most of them time I like them to swim in garlic, herbs, and olive oil. This combination is a no-fail and seems to fit in with most meals I make. However, as I was making a pork loin one day I couldn’t help but long for something more. I decided to take inspiration from teriyaki sauce and create a sticky glaze for the baby potatoes. The salty and sweet combination had my family dipping everything at the dinner table into the leftover glaze in the serving dish.

Meanwhile, in a medium sized bowl whisk together the garlic, water, soy sauce, rice wine and honey.
Add the contents of the bowl to a saucepan over medium to low heat. Bring to a simmer.
In a small cup add the half tablespoon of cornstarch to a tablespoon of water and mix (do this before adding to the saucepan!) then whisk the cornstarch/ water mixture into the simmering pan.
After about 5 minutes you should see the mixture thickening up. Remove from the heat and reserve
When the potatoes come out of the oven pour over the glaze and mix the potatoes to coat. Then sprinkle the scallions over the top and serve.
