Sticky Potatoes are a flavorful and comforting side dish featuring tender baby potatoes braised in a smoky, sweet, and tangy glaze made from tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, and chipotles. This simple stovetop recipe delivers golden, sticky potatoes with an optional fresh cilantro garnish and creamy sour cream for serving.

Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons minced chipotles in adobo
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, 1 to 1 1/2-inches in diameter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon minced cilantro, optional
  • Sour cream, for serving, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the water, tamari, maple syrup, lime juice, minced chipotles in adobo, garlic, and smoked paprika until fully combined. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later use.
  2. Brown the potatoes: Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the baby potatoes, cooking them while turning occasionally, until all sides are golden brown and nicely seared, about 5 minutes.
  3. Braise the potatoes: Pour the reserved sauce into the skillet with the potatoes. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan with a lid and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
  4. Reduce the glaze and serve: Remove the lid and increase the heat back to medium. Stir frequently as you cook until the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze that coats the potatoes, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, sprinkle with minced cilantro if using, and serve warm with sour cream if desired.
  5. Storage and reheating: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave before serving.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of minced chipotles to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • Baby potatoes of uniform size cook more evenly; select ones about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • For a vegan version, substitute the butter with a vegan margarine or oil.
  • The dish pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or can be enjoyed as a hearty vegetarian side.
  • Adding fresh cilantro at the end brightens the flavors but can be omitted if you prefer.
