Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

Make the sweet chili butter. Add the butter, oil, sweet chili, salt, pepper and scallions to a small bowl. Mix to combine.

Step 3

Add the potatoes to a large bowl, add the sweet chili butter and toss to coat. Next, spread the potatoes out on the sheet pan, season with a bit of salt and pepper and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway. The potatoes should be browned and slightly caramelized.
