What are Asian Sesame Smashed Potatoes?
Asian Sesame Smashed Potatoes are baby potatoes that have been parboiled and baked with soy sauce, maple syrup, and sesame oil and garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. These are such a great idea for a side dish if you're a potato lover like me. These serve well with some steamed rice, veggies and your favorite protein.
Being a true potato lover, I love developing different recipes with these yummy root vegetables. They're such a versatile carbohydrate that can absorb flavor so well so it was obvious for me to create Asian-style smashed potatoes since smashed potatoes seem to be the trend! After several trials, that's how this potato dish was born and I really hope you love it!

Made these on a whim, along with similarly themed chicken and broccolini. It was late in the day on a Sunday, but we had the ingredients on hand. We loved the smashed potatoes and will make again. Thanks for the idea!

Honey or any liquid sweetener that you enjoy could work!
