Introduction
Sriracha Glazed Roast Potatoes offer a spicy, sweet, and savory twist on classic roast potatoes. Crispy on the outside and tender inside, they’re glazed with a flavorful sriracha maple sauce that makes them perfect as a side dish or snack.

Ingredients
- 800g (28.2oz) white potatoes, peeled and cut (see notes)
- Salt, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for roasting
- 2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Small handful of sesame seeds
- Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Peel the potatoes. Slice the larger ones into quarters and the smaller ones into halves for even cooking.
- Step 2: Place the potatoes in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 7–9 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft on the outside. Drain and let them cool slightly for 10 minutes.
- Step 3: Preheat your oven to 200°C fan (425°F).

- Step 5: Roast the potatoes for 45–55 minutes until golden and crispy, turning them once halfway through cooking.
- Step 6: While the potatoes roast, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Step 7: Pour the sauce into a small pan over medium heat and cook for 2–3 minutes until it begins to thicken.
- Step 8: Add the roasted potatoes to the pan with the sauce and stir to coat them evenly.
- Step 9: Serve topped with sesame seeds and chopped fresh coriander.
Tips & Variations
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Try adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice for a bright, tangy finish.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the sriracha amount or substitute with a milder chili sauce.
- To achieve extra crispiness, shake the potatoes in the colander after boiling to roughen their edges before roasting.
Storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10–15 minutes to regain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent soggy potatoes.
