Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the baby potatoes, then cut them into halves or quarters and place in a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Prepare the dressing by whisking together gochujang, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, soy sauce (or tamari), and sesame oil. Stir in mayonnaise or Greek yogurt if desired, along with minced garlic and grated ginger.
  5. Once the potatoes are roasted, let them cool slightly, then add to a bowl. Pour the dressing over and toss gently to combine. Add sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and cucumber.
  6. Serve warm or chilled, garnishing with additional toppings like green onions, sesame seeds, and optional crispy fried shallots or peanuts.
