Tariyaki_Potato2

When I had some left over roasted potatoes on the other day, I cooked them in a sweet soy sauce. The cold roasted potatoes were reborn in the Japanese flavour. Then I invented this dish. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and pre-cook them in the microwave so that you can save the cooking time. Alternatively you can roast the potatoes. Sweet potato version is also very nice. Great nibbles with beer.
