Sticky Potatoes (also called Sweet & Sour Potatoes) have the most thick and delicious glaze and the potatoes come out so tender and yummy!.
KOREAN-STYLE STICKY POTATOES
I'm calling these delicious morsels from heaven 'Sticky Potatoes' but you could actually call them Sweet & Sour Potatoes or Sesame Potatoes or whatever you'd like. I got the idea from a Korean side dish that utilizes similar ingredients. When you go out for a Korean meal, you usually get tons of little side dishes and these glazed potatoes are one of them. It's so good! And it's that sticky glaze that takes them over the top. 
TIPS FOR MAKING THESE STICKY POTATOES:
- The key to this potato dish is to make sure they get nice and brown before adding the glaze ingredients. It just adds a whole bunch of flavor!
- Give these potatoes time to simmer in the sauce. The longer they simmer, the thicker and stickier the glaze will get.
- This glaze is perfect with chicken too! If you love Sesame Chicken at your favorite Asian restaurant then you should definitely try this glaze over over cooked chicken!

I’m going to make these tonight with Teriyaki slow cooker pork loin. I’m going to make and serve immediately, but do you know if they keep over night? Thank you.
Hi Jodi - that's a good question. I really am not sure. I'm leaning towards no but honestly, I've never tried reheating them before. If you try it out, please let me know! 🙂
Very good! I added a tbsp of teriyaki and 2 of ginger, holy crap that's good!
Cooked and enjoyed a couple bites of these tonight. Made this dish for a pot luck. I’ll defini make this for other occasions! Thank you
Amazing glaze! Tastes like a particularly good Chinese sauce. Tried it with chicken as suggested and it's now a firm favourite!
Wondering if it has to be Little Potatoes or if I can use any kind of potatoes cut to size?
Yes, it can be any potato that is cut to size. You want a potato that will hold up to the cooking process though. 🙂
I love your recipe! Will definitely try it out, very intrigued. Pinned.
I must say this a unique way of making a potato based dish! loved it
yummy
Hope you love them!
