Ingredients
Roasting Potatoes
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons Olive Oil (divided for roasting and cooking with sauce)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Fresh Ground Black Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
Honey Chilli Sauce & Garnish
- 2 tablespoons Chilli Paste
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon Chives or Scallions
Instructions
Prep-Ahead and Pre-Cook Steps
- Preheat oven to 400 F degrees. (You will roast the potatoes in the oven as the prep-ahead and then later crisp them up in a skillet when ready to eat.)
- Wash the potatoes and either peel or leave the skin on. Cut the potatoes into bite-size pieces, generally about an inch. Add the potatoes to large sheet pan. I like to cover the pan with aluminum foil for easy clean up, but it's not necessary.
- Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and then sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and chili powder.
- Rub the seasoning all over the potatoes using your hands making sure each pieces is coated. Then spread into a single layer and roast in the oven on the center rack for 30 minutes. When they are done, you can cool them off and store them in a sealed container in the fridge until ready to finish cooking.
- While the potatoes are cooking, you can make the sauce. In a small bowl combine the chilli paste, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and minced garlic.
Finish Cooking Steps
- Preheat a large skillet on high. Add olive oil and the roasted potatoes. Maneuver the potatoes into a single layer so that each potato is touching the skillet and then let them sear to get crispy for a few minutes. Once one side is crispy, you can flip them to get the other side crispy.
- Drizzle the sauce over the potatoes and stir to coat. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, watching closely and stirring to prevent burning.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chives!
