About Recipes with Sriracha Sauce
My family loves hot sauce, especially Sriracha, and I always love to try out new recipes with this. I have already used this sauce with tofu, cauliflower, chicken, etc. You can check out some of my favorite recipes here: Honey sriracha tofu, Spicy sriracha chicken wings, Honey sriracha cauliflower.
Since I was looking for a spicy, healthier, and meatless Super Bowl appetizer and potato is everyone's favorite vegetable, I decided why not use Sriracha sauce with potatoes and bake them instead of frying them.
These crispy and loaded french fries tossed in hot sauce are perfect for entertaining during game nights as well as tailgating events. I like to prepare two batches of loaded french fries - mild for kids and extra hot for adults.

Ingredients for Fries in Hot Sauce
Potatoes - use frozen french fries (or crinkle-cut fries, etc.) for preparing this recipe in a jiffy. You can also prepare this by frying potatoes from scratch.
Use your favorite hot sauce such as Sriracha Sauce / Frank's RedHot / Buffalo sauce. Butter helps in making the sauce glossy.
Honey helps in balancing the spiciness of the sauce.
Salt and Garlic powder for seasoning.
Coriander leaves/Cilantro and Spring onions are used as a garnish to brighten up the flavors.

Expert Chef Tips
- You can build on this recipe by using these loaded fries in slider buns and making your super bowl night more enjoyable.
- If you are preparing potato fries at home from scratch, you will need three medium-sized potatoes. I have used Russet Potatoes, Yukon Gold, Red Potatoes, etc., while preparing fries or potato wedges at home. Choose any variety that is readily available. Peel and cut them into desired shapes, coat them with oil, sprinkle salt and your favorite seasoning and bake them at 475 degrees F for 25 minutes or till they become crispy. Make sure to toss them halfway through the baking process.
FAQs

If using frozen fries, simply follow the frying instruction on the package. If you are preparing them from scratch, you can fry the potato fingers in oil for 5-6 minutes on medium heat (300 F). Remove and drain them over paper towels for 5 minutes. Fry them again in oil, this time on medium-high heat (400F) for 5 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle some salt over the fries as soon as they are out of the oil.
