These little nuggets of umami joy will fill your heart with warmth
If you are one of those people that just fall to the knees over anything potato, then these miso butter-roasted potatoes are taking you to the great heights of potato heaven.
Fluffy and crunchy potatoes
Fluffy on the inside and caramelized and crispy on the outside, these potato bites have been lovingly basted in butter and salt before a final coating of umami bomb sauce (see below). Topped with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion, Miso Roasted Butter Potatoes are a little party in your mouth.
Umami Bomb Sauce
A blend of miso, soy, maple syrup, garlic and a touch of mirin for acidity. The sauce acts as a sort of ‘glutamate’ that the body craves along with the sensations of sweet, sour, bitter, and salty flavours. Combined with butter it’s rich, luxurious and feels like a very special treat.
Serving Suggestion
For sauce addicts who love to dip, serve these miso butter potatoes with a side of chilli sauce or tahini yoghurt. Both make a wonderful addition.
