Description

Korean Honey Butter Potatoes are a deliciously sweet and savory side dish featuring tender boiled potatoes tossed in a rich honey butter sauce and finished with a golden sear. This simple yet flavorful recipe brings a perfect balance of buttery richness and honey sweetness, enhanced with a touch of salt, pepper, and fresh parsley, making it a delightful addition to any meal.


Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 pound potatoes, cubed into 2-inch pieces

Honey Butter Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Fill a large pot with cold water and add the cubed potatoes. Set the pot over medium heat and bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they are fork-tender, approximately 10 to 15 minutes, then drain them thoroughly.
  2. Prepare the Honey Butter Sauce: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, honey, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the mixture to simmer gently, blending all the flavors.
  3. Sear the Potatoes: Carefully add the drained potatoes into the simmering honey butter sauce. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook the potatoes for 5 to 6 minutes on one side until they develop a golden, caramelized sear. Gently flip the potatoes over and continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 minutes to evenly brown them on all sides.
  4. Finish and Serve: Toss the sautéed potatoes with the roughly chopped fresh parsley, then serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture.
  • Adjust honey quantity depending on your preferred sweetness level.
  • Make sure to cut the potatoes evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or chili flakes during the sauté step.
  • This recipe is best served immediately to enjoy the crispy exterior.
