Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Garnish
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- Chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the halved baby potatoes with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 30–35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even golden brown and crispy texture.
- Mix the dressing: While the potatoes roast, whisk together gochujang, mayonnaise, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a large mixing bowl until smooth and well combined.
- Combine potatoes and dressing: Once roasted, let the potatoes cool slightly for 5–10 minutes. Toss the warm potatoes in the prepared gochujang dressing until fully and evenly coated.
- Garnish and serve: Transfer the coated potatoes to a serving dish. Top with sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped cilantro or parsley if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of gochujang to your preferred spice level.
- For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
- This potato salad pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or as a flavorful side at picnics and BBQs.
