Ingredients for Baked Sesame Potatoes

  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt

How to Make Baked Sesame Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Scrub 4 medium russet potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 teaspoon of coarsely ground black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
  4. Brush the cut sides of the potatoes generously with the sesame oil mixture.
  5. Place the potatoes cut-side up on a large baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, then flip the potatoes and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden brown. Internal temperature should reach 210°F (99°C).
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
