Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the halved baby potatoes and cook for 5–6 minutes, until tender when pierced with a knife but still holding their shape. Drain in a colander, then place the colander over a bowl. Sprinkle the cornflour over the potatoes and gently toss to coat.
-
Step 2.
While the potatoes cook, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of vegetable oil, then add the sliced garlic and spring onions. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate and set aside.
-
Step 3.
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the same pan. When the oil is hot, add the potatoes and a pinch of salt. Cook for 5–6 minutes, turning regularly, until the potatoes are crisp and golden all over.
-
Step 4.
While the potatoes are frying, mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl: tomato purée, honey, soy sauce, chili flakes, and hot water. Stir until well combined.
-
Step 5.
When the potatoes are crispy, return the cooked garlic and spring onions to the pan. Pour the sauce over everything and stir for about 1 minute, until the potatoes are well coated and the sauce is sticky.

Step 6.
Serve the Manchurian honey potatoes sprinkled with sesame seeds.
