Hot Honey Roast Potatoes Recipe

Delicious Hot Honey Roast Potatoes are a spicy, sweet twist on a classic roastie!

I don’t back myself on many things, but when it comes to roast potatoes, I know I make a pretty excellent batch. They’re golden, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy inside, and packed with flavour in every bite. These Hot Honey Roast Potatoes are my latest obsession – a sweet and spicy twist on the classic that takes comfort food to a whole new level. They also go perfectly with my Hot Honey Cheesy Leeks!

These aren’t a “healthy” version, and honestly, that’s part of the joy. Sometimes you just need a proper treat – the kind of dish that makes everyone at the table go quiet for a moment before saying, “Oh wow, these are amazing.” Life’s all about balance, and these potatoes are pure happiness on a plate.

The secret to the perfect roast potato starts with boiling them just right. I like to add a few garlic cloves to the water for extra flavour, then sprinkle a little flour before roasting to get those crisp, crunchy edges. A drizzle of hot honey at the end gives them a sticky, golden glaze that’s both sweet and fiery. It’s the ultimate finishing touch that makes these potatoes completely irresistible.

Hot honey might sound fancy, but it’s really simple – just honey with a hint of chilli. It works beautifully with roast potatoes because it adds a subtle heat that cuts through the richness of the butter and oil. The result is that perfect balance of crispy, sweet and spicy that keeps you going back for “just one more.”

Whether you’re cooking a Sunday roast, a midweek comfort dinner, or a festive feast, these Hot Honey Roast Potatoes will steal the show. They’re not light or diet-friendly, but they are full of flavour, satisfaction and joy – and we all deserve a treat like that now and again.
