Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika (smoked or regular)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1.5 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Hot sauce
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks, roughly 1-inch in size.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato chunks with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet in an even layer, ensuring the pieces aren’t overcrowded. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and crispy.

Step 5

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the sweet hot sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, tomato paste, honey, red wine vinegar, hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and water.

Step 6

Stir the mixture well and bring it to a gentle simmer, cooking for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed, adding more honey for sweetness or hot sauce for extra spice.

Step 7

When the potatoes are done roasting, transfer them to a serving bowl or platter.

Step 8

Drizzle the sweet hot sauce generously over the potatoes and toss gently to coat, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Step 9

Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
