Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 1.5 pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes (red or yellow)
Seasoning and Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the potatoes.
- Thoroughly cleanse baby potatoes under running water, then meticulously dry them with a kitchen towel. Slice larger potatoes into uniform pieces to guarantee consistent cooking.
- Create a vibrant honey mustard sauce by whisking olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a spacious mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Gently fold the prepared potatoes into the honey mustard mixture, ensuring each potato receives a comprehensive, even coating of the flavorful sauce.
- Arrange the sauce-covered potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet, distributing them in a single layer to promote optimal roasting and caramelization.
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating them midway through cooking to achieve a golden-brown exterior and tender interior. Test doneness by piercing with a fork.
- Remove potatoes from the oven and allow them to rest briefly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, then serve immediately while warm, showcasing the potatoes’ irresistible honey mustard glaze.
Notes
- Potato Selection Matters: Choose small, uniform baby potatoes for consistent cooking and a beautiful presentation that looks professionally prepared.
- Customize Seasoning Creatively: Experiment with adding dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to enhance the honey mustard flavor profile and create a personalized taste.
- Dietary Adaptations: Replace honey with maple syrup for a vegan version, or use a low-sodium mustard for those watching salt intake without compromising delicious taste.
- Perfect Crispiness Technique: Ensure potatoes are completely dry before coating to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of roasting.
