Extra sriracha for drizzling

Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Coating
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sriracha until smooth and evenly combined.
Coat the Potatoes
Add the potato wedges to the bowl.
Toss thoroughly until every piece is generously coated in the spicy mayo mixture.
Arrange for Roasting
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This helps them crisp up beautifully.
Roast to Perfection
Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the potatoes are deeply golden, crispy on the edges, and fork-tender.
Serve
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with parsley, green onions, or an extra drizzle of sriracha if desired.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Serving Suggestions
Top with a fried or poached egg for an easy meal.
Pair with grilled chicken, steak, or burgers.

Tips for Success
Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges for consistent cooking.
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan.
Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on how spicy you like it.
These crispy, creamy, spicy roasted potatoes are proof that sometimes the simplest recipes are the ones you’ll return to again and again.
