Baked Potatoes with Lime Ponzu Sauce

The lime ponzu sauce is super simple and can be made in advance and kept in the fridge. Use it in salad dressings, or as a seasoning for any Japanese-inspired recipe. The potatoes are baked until tender, sliced open, sprinkled with sesame seeds and drizzled with the sauce.

Substitutes:

  • No potatoes? Try with sweet potatoes. Wrap them up in foil and bake until tender. 
  • No lime? Use lemon juice or any citrus of your choice. Feel free to also mix citruses together - such as orange juice and lime juice, or grapefruit juice and lime juice.
