Teriyaki Potatoes

These are one of my favorite potato side dishes! It was posted on a cooking site called GroupRecipes by a cook known as Chefmeow. I first tried this recipe about 2 years ago and have made it many times since then. This microwave recipe takes only about 20 minutes to make from start to finish!

These potatoes have a wonderful smokey, slightly sweet flavor! I made them as written except I used fresh thyme instead of rosemary. The first time I made these I didn't have any Teriyaki sauce, so a food friend told me to use 1 part brown sugar to 1 part soy sauce. This worked perfectly! I love the way the sauce caramelized on the potatoes while cooking.
