How to Make Baked Sesame Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  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

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
