Honey 1/2 tablespoon

Recipe

Peel 8 potatoes, soak in cold water for 20 minutes to remove starch, then rinse and set aside.
Pour 600ml of water into a pot, add 1/2 tablespoon sea salt and 1/3 tablespoon nu-suga, and dissolve. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Once the water is vigorously boiling, add the prepared potatoes and stir once to coat them with hot water, sealing in the starch.
Cover the pot and simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, then uncover and flip the potatoes upside down.
Cover again and continue cooking over medium heat for another 10 minutes, totaling 25 minutes of boiling.
When the water has reduced slightly, lower the heat to low and gradually sprinkle 1/2 tablespoon of honey over the potatoes while gently rolling them to create a rich, fragrant crust.
Turn off the heat when a light, savory crust forms on the bottom, cool slightly, then serve.

Peel the potatoes and soak them in cold water to remove starch.
Boil the potatoes in salted and nu-suga-infused water over medium heat for 25 minutes.
When the water reduces, lower the heat and gently roll the potatoes with honey to develop a fluffy texture.

Cooking tips

Never add potatoes to cold water—this causes them to break apart and become mealy due to starch release. Always start with boiling water.
After 15 minutes of boiling, flip the potatoes once to ensure even cooking throughout.
After adding honey, do not turn off the heat immediately—continue gently rolling the potatoes over low heat to achieve a fluffy, white, airy texture.
