Heat up 2 Tablespoons of oil in a pan and fry the potatoes (turning occasionally) on med-high heat for 5-7 minutes until half cooked and lightly seared on all sides. Drain any excess oil.
Then add the water, soy, corn syrup, sugar, ketchup and garlic and simmer for 6-8 minutes until potatoes are cooked and the sauce thickens and is no longer runny. The longer they cook, the stickier and thicker the sauce becomes.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and toss to coat. Then serve!

Notes
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!
