- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
For the Sriracha Mayo Sauce
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Garnishes
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Extra Sriracha drizzle
Equipment Needed
- Large baking sheet
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons
- Silicone spatula
- Parchment paper
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. If using baby potatoes, cut them into halves or quarters depending on their size. For larger potatoes, cut them into evenly sized chunks to ensure uniform cooking.
Pat the potatoes dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture helps them become extra crispy during roasting.
Step 2: Season the Potatoes
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Toss everything together until every potato piece is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 4: Roast the Potatoes
Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Avoid overcrowding the pan, as crowded potatoes tend to steam rather than roast.
Cooking Intensity Guide
First Roasting Stage
- Temperature: 425°F (220°C)
- Intensity: High Heat
- Time: 20 minutes
After 20 minutes, remove the tray and flip the potatoes using a spatula.
Second Roasting Stage
- Temperature: 425°F (220°C)
- Intensity: High Heat
- Time: 15–20 minutes
Continue roasting until the potatoes are deeply golden brown and crispy on all sides.
The total roasting time should be approximately 35–40 minutes.
Step 5: Make the Sriracha Mayo Sauce
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the sauce.
In a small bowl, whisk together:
- Mayonnaise
- Sriracha sauce
- Lime juice
- Honey
- Garlic powder
Mix until smooth and creamy.
Taste and adjust the spice level if desired. Add more Sriracha for extra heat or a little more honey for a sweeter balance.
Step 6: Toss the Potatoes
Once the potatoes are finished roasting, allow them to cool for 2–3 minutes.
Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Add about three-quarters of the Sriracha mayo sauce and gently toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated.
Reserve the remaining sauce for dipping or drizzling.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Transfer the coated potatoes to a serving platter.
Top with chopped parsley, green onions, sesame seeds, or an extra drizzle of Sriracha mayo.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Tips for Maximum Crispiness
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning.
- Use a hot oven set to 425°F.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet.
- Flip the potatoes halfway through roasting.
- Serve immediately after tossing with sauce.
