Ingredients
UnitsScale
4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Salt to taste
1/4cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or sugar
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp sesame oil
Optional: chopped green onions, sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss potato fries with vegetable oil and a pinch of salt. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and sesame oil to make the sauce.
Once fries are cooked, place them in a large bowl and drizzle with the gochujang sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can use frozen fries as a shortcut – just bake or fry according to package instructions before tossing in sauce.
Adjust the amount of gochujang for desired heat level.
