Ingredients
Potatoes
- 500 g baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dressing
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, minced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) to ensure it’s hot and ready for roasting.
- Prepare Potatoes: In a mixing bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Roast Potatoes: Spread the potatoes on a baking tray in a single layer. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes until they turn crispy and golden brown on the outside.
- Make Dressing: While the potatoes are roasting, combine mayonnaise, gochujang, honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, and minced garlic in a bowl. Whisk thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and well blended.
- Combine and Serve: Once the potatoes have roasted, allow them to cool slightly so they’re warm but not hot. Then toss the potatoes gently with the gochujang dressing to coat them evenly. Serve the potato salad warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
Notes
- Add sliced green onions or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for an extra layer of freshness and color.
- Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of gochujang according to your taste preference.
- For a vegan version, replace mayonnaise with vegan mayo or a plant-based yogurt.
- The salad can be served immediately or chilled briefly for a different texture experience.
