Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Honey Mustard 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 to 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 all potatoes evenly.
- 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) until well combined.
- Coat the potatoes: Pour the honey mustard sauce over the potatoes. Toss well to ensure each piece is fully coated in the flavorful sauce.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes out evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, cut potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Whole grain mustard adds nice texture but can be omitted to suit preference.
- Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor but is optional.
- These potatoes pair well with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
