POTATOES WITH A SWEET SOY DRESSING
Everyday Harumi
by Harumi Kurihara
Seeing so many different types of potatoes in Europe really inspired me to create new recipes using them. Here 1 dress the potatoes with both butter and soy sauce—a surprisingly good combination. For this dish it is better to chop the potatoes into large pieces.
Serves 4
Ingredients
• 4 medium potatoes (about 1¼ Ib in total)
• 1½ to 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons superfine sugar
• 1 tablespoon lightly salted butter
Directions
1. Peel the potatoes, quarter each , and then soak the pieces for a couple of minutes to remove any excess starch. Boil them in a large pan of water until cooked, then drain and set aside.
2. Put the soy sauce and sugar in a pan over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.
3. Add the boiled potatoes and stir them around until fully coated with the sauce. Turn down the heat and let them simmer for a while to absorb the flavor, gently tossing the potatoes continuously so they do not bum.
4. Finally, add the butter, stir again, and serve.
