- 2 ts sesame oil
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ½ cup water add more if needed

- Mince garlic and slice green onion (if using for garnish). Set aside.
- Prepare your braising sauce by combining the water, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and honey and set aside.
- Heat up the olive oil in a skillet on med high. Once shimmering, add the potatoes and stir constantly until they are nicely browned (approximately 5 minutes or so, depending on type of potato and size of cut potato).
- Turn the heat down to med-low to medium, and add the braising sauce. Stir, then cover and allow to cook for around 5 minutes or so. The time will vary depending on the size and type of potato. If it is getting dry, add water a little at a time. You are aiming for the potatoes to be fork tender.
