Chewy and Sweet Braised Potatoes: Easy Side Dish Recipe
Make This Deliciously Simple Braised Potato Side Dish for Your Family!
In our busy daily lives, we’re introducing a simple and easy braised potato recipe. With just potatoes, you can easily make this dish using ingredients you already have at home.
Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 1/2 cup soy sauce (using a paper cup as a measure)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp grapeseed oil (or cooking oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If the potato pieces are too large, they may take longer to cook, so try to cut them into uniform sizes.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of grapeseed oil in a pot over medium heat and sauté the cut potatoes. If you don’t have grapeseed oil, any cooking oil will work. Lightly sautéing the potatoes helps them absorb the braising liquid better and enhances their flavor.
Step 3
Once the potatoes begin to soften slightly, pour in 1/2 cup of soy sauce. Using a standard paper cup for measurement will help ensure the right balance of flavors.
Step 4
Next, add 1 and 1/2 cups of water. Keep the heat on medium and allow the potatoes to braise. Ensure there’s enough water to mostly cover the potatoes.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of honey to add a touch of sweetness and depth. You can substitute with corn syrup or sugar, but honey provides a richer, smoother sweetness.
Step 6
Now, continue to simmer with the lid off over medium heat. As the savory soy sauce penetrates the potatoes and the sauce reduces and thickens, lower the heat to low.
Step 7
Continue to simmer on low heat until the soy sauce is reduced to a thick glaze coating the potatoes. To check for doneness, pierce a potato with a chopstick; it should be tender and easily mashed. Once the potatoes are cooked through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, turn off the heat.
Step 8
Transfer the beautifully braised potatoes to a serving dish. Since the soy sauce was adjusted to avoid being too salty, spoon any remaining delicious sauce from the pot over the potatoes for extra moisture and flavor.
Step 9
Serve over warm rice for a delightful meal! Your chewy and sweet braised potatoes are ready. Enjoy your delicious cooking. Thank you!
