Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 40 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large potatoes, cubed
- 1/2 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes. Ensure the pieces are roughly the same size to guarantee even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, buffalo sauce, garlic powder, and salt. Whisk the ingredients until they are well incorporated and form a smooth marinade.
- Add the potato cubes to the marinade and toss carefully, ensuring each potato piece is completely coated with the buffalo sauce mixture.
- Spread the marinated potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow potatoes to crisp up and roast evenly.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure all sides are golden and crispy.
- Remove from oven when potatoes are fork-tender with crispy edges and have absorbed the buffalo sauce's rich flavor.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped green onions for added color and a mild onion flavor.
- Serve immediately while hot, accompanied by additional buffalo sauce on the side for extra heat if desired.
Tips
- Potato Selection Matters: Choose starchy potatoes like Russet or Yukon Gold for the crispiest results.
- Size Consistency is Key: Cut potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Don't Overcrowd the Baking Sheet: Give your potatoes space to breathe, which helps them crisp up instead of steaming.
- Marinate Thoroughly: Ensure each potato cube is completely coated with the buffalo sauce mixture for maximum flavor.
- Flip Halfway: Turning the potatoes midway through cooking guarantees an even, golden-brown crispness on all sides.
- Adjust Spice Level: Use mild or hot buffalo sauce depending on your heat tolerance.
- Fresh Garnish Makes a Difference: The chopped green onions aren't just decoration - they add a fresh, sharp contrast to the spicy potatoes.
- Serve Immediately: These potatoes are best enjoyed hot and crispy right out of the oven.
