Honey Sriracha Fries with Crème Fraiche and Chives are spicy and sweet. And so addicting you will want to eat them for dinner instead of as an appetizer.
I should start this whole post with a warning label that we like spicy food. At least my husband and I like spicy food. Once in a while we get a turn and our kids get peanut butter sandwiches.
One of the many things I love about this recipe – in addition to being delicious and addictive – is that it cooks on a single sheet pan. Make enough for yourself or make enough for a crowd. If it fits on a sheet pan, you are good. No complex cooking techniques here. Just quality, whole food ingredients that create fantastic flavor.
Potatoes are a staple at our house. With a family of five, I am always looking for a way to stretch dinner a little farther and leftovers into one more meal. Potatoes are nutritious, flexible, easy to cook and economical. Check out this Unstuffed Baked Potato (my kids favorite!) or this Ham and Egg Hash that will make you LOVE potatoes for breakfast. Or this Fingerling Potato Medley with Onions and Peppers that is an easy side dish but becomes the base for a sheet pan supper or even a filling breakfast.
Honey Sriracha Fries with Creme Fraiche
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Fingerling potatoes
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/3 cup sriracha
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 lime, for juicing
- 4 oz creme fraiche
- 2 tbsp chives plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. And set the oven rack into the top third of the oven.
- Combine honey, sriracha, the juice from a lime, coconut oil and butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. When it begins to simmer, turn it down to medium low to keep it warm stirring occasionally.
- While sauce is warming, slice Idaho® potatoes into quarters lengthwise, making "fries." Add fries to a large bowl and pour the sauce over the fries. Toss the fries in the sauce until well coated.
- Add fries to a baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer. Move the baking sheet to the oven. Cook fries for 30-35 minutes, tossing occasionally so that they cook evenly. Remove from the oven when fries become golden and crisp at the edges.
- While fries are in the oven, combine creme fraiche with 2 tbsps of chives.
- Top warm fries with creme fraiche and chives and serve!
Great combination sweet and spicy. Exactly my type.
Your table cloth looks like a shirt that I own, it is one of my favorites. Love the spices that you added here.
That is super funny! I have been known to use some rather odd things in the background. LOL
I love the flavors! You can never go wrong with sweet and spicy!
My husband can never eat enough spice. He is going to love these. They must have quite a punch with 1/3 cup sriracha.
Sweet and spicy = my favorite combo! Wonderful recipe!
Honey and sriracha … what a fabulous combo! Great recipe!
Oh yum….all of the flavors you have going on here are just delicious!
How delicious!We love spicy too and this is right up my alley 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
What a nice balance of flavors!
I’m always looking for an excuse to use my Sriracha! Can’t wait to make this!
Oh I don’t just love spicy foods I don’t think I could live with out them! That’s probably a given since I’ve lived in Phoenix, AZ most of my life. 2 of my 4 kiddos are pretty much whimps tho when it comes to spicy foods so that’s always an issue. Loving the spicy/sweet combo in these. 😉
These look awesome!
Love the sweet heat in these!
What an incredible, flavorful dish! And one gorgeous photo, too.
Anything with Sriracha tastes good! I love the flavors in your spiced-up potato fries, sounds delicious!!
We love spicy and always have sriracha on hand. Sounds delicious.
This is definitely going on my list of things to make soon. I love the sweet heat factor and they look delicious!
I love spicy food too and I couldn’t imagine my pantry not having a bottle of sriracha in it. This is totally my kind of appetizer.
