Bang Bang Potatoes

Published

 
If you've ever had bang bang chicken or bang bang shrimp, you know the flavor profile belongs on almost all your favorite foods—including potatoes. Here, we take bang bang sauce—a combination of mayo, sweet Thai chili sauce, sriracha, and rice vinegar—and drizzle it over shatteringly crispy oven-roasted potatoes. A cornstarch slurry coats the potatoes for an extra-crunchy crust on each spud. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is not to be missed. Here's how to make it.
