korean potatoes

1 lb potato, diced large (red potatoes will work best, peel)
3 cloves garlic (miced)
1.5 tbsp soy sauce
1.5 tbsp sugar
1.5 tbsp honey
1 cup water
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion (diced)

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil, add potatoes, saute 30 sec, mix together all other ingredients in a separate bowl, add about 3/4 of the liquid to the potatoes and cook over med-high heat ~10 mins to reduce the liquid into a sauce while cooking the potatoes. If potatoes aren't completely cooked when the sauce is thick, add a little more of the liquid and cover until cooked. Cool and refrigerate, serve cold.
