Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

800g / 28.2oz white potatoes (peeled, large ones quartered, smaller ones halved)
Salt, to taste
Vegetable oil, for roasting

Sauce & Garnish

2 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
3 tbsp maple syrup
1.5 tbsp sriracha
3 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
1 tsp sesame oil
Small handful of sesame seeds
Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped

Instructions

Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes. Cut the large potatoes into quarters and halve the smaller ones to ensure even cooking.
Parboil Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook for 7-9 minutes until the potatoes are soft on the outside but still hold their shape. Drain and let cool slightly for 10 minutes.
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 200°C fan (425°F) to prepare for roasting the potatoes to perfection.
Roast Potatoes: Transfer the potatoes to a roasting tray. Sprinkle generously with salt and drizzle with vegetable oil. Toss to coat evenly. Roast in the oven for 45-55 minutes until the potatoes are golden and crispy, turning them halfway through for even browning.
Prepare Glaze Sauce: While potatoes are roasting and nearing completion, mix soy sauce, maple syrup, sriracha, chopped garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Cook Glaze Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture into a pan over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
Glaze Potatoes: Add the roasted potatoes to the pan with the thickened sauce. Stir gently to coat all the potatoes evenly in the spicy-sweet glaze.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and freshly chopped coriander over the glazed roast potatoes. Serve hot as a flavorful side dish or snack.

Notes

Using tamari instead of soy sauce makes this recipe gluten-free.
Parboiling the potatoes before roasting helps achieve a crispy exterior and soft interior.
Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat level.
For best results, use starchy white potatoes like Maris Piper or Yukon Gold.
Ensure to toss the potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispiness.
