Ingredients with Measurements:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Special equipment needed:
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, mix together the potatoes, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the potatoes are evenly coated.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the potatoes out in a single layer.
4. Bake the potatoes for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown.
5. While the potatoes are baking, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, hot sauce, honey, and white vinegar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.
6. Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving dish and drizzle the sauce over the top.
7. Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the potatoes and serve immediately.
