Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Coating & Sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard (optional, for texture)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare the potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and melted butter, then toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly, ensuring a rich flavor and crispy texture when roasted.
- Make the honey mustard sauce: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). This mixture combines sweetness, tang, and a subtle smoky depth.
- Coat the potatoes: Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over the potatoes and toss until all the potatoes are evenly coated, allowing the flavors to infuse before roasting.
- Roast the potatoes: Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and tenderness when tested with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a flavorful and comforting side dish.
Notes
- Using baby potatoes helps with even roasting and a pleasant bite; you can substitute with small red or Yukon gold potatoes cut into halves or quarters.
- The whole grain mustard is optional but adds nice texture and complexity.
- Smoked paprika offers a subtle smoky flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Tossing the potatoes halfway through roasting promotes even cooking and browning.
- Ensure potatoes are spread in a single layer to avoid steaming and achieve crispiness.
