Ingredients

2 pounds red or white rose potatoes, washed and halved or quartered
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted, for garnish
1 green onion, thinly sliced, green part only, for garnish
Red pepper flakes, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1

Place the potatoes and water in the slow cooker insert.
2

(The smaller the pieces, the faster they will cook.
3

Also, the greater the surface area of the potato that is exposed, the more the sauce will be soaked up, and the more flavorful your potatoes will be.)
4

Cover and cook on low for about 3 hours, or until the potatoes are somewhat tender when pierced with a fork, stirring now and again to keep all sides of the potatoes cooking evenly.
5

In a small bowl, combine the sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic and pour over the potatoes, tossing thoroughly to coat all sides.
6

Recover and continue cooking for about 30 minutes longer.
7

Serve garnished with the toasted sesame seeds, sliced green onion, and red pepper flakes.

Im thinking perhaps a lighter-style Roussanne or Rhone-style white blend from California.
