Instructions

Prep-Ahead and Pre-Cook:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Wash and cut the potatoes into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Peel optional.

Place on a baking sheet (lined with foil for easy cleanup if desired).

Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, then season with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Toss to coat.

Roast in the center rack of the oven for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.

While roasting, whisk together chilli paste, soy sauce, honey, vinegar, and minced garlic in a small bowl to make the sauce.

Let potatoes cool if prepping ahead, then refrigerate until ready to finish.

Finish Cooking:

Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add remaining olive oil and roasted potatoes.

Arrange potatoes in a single layer to sear for a few minutes until crisp. Flip and crisp the other side.

Pour in the prepared honey chilli sauce and stir to coat.

Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until sauce thickens slightly and glazes the potatoes.

Transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped chives or scallions.

Notes

For extra crispiness, don’t overcrowd the skillet during searing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best texture.

Adjust spice by increasing or decreasing the amount of chilli paste.

Works great as a vegetarian appetizer, side dish, or game day snack.
