Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Coating
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 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 after roasting.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large bowl, place the halved baby potatoes. Drizzle the olive oil and melted butter over them and toss to coat the potatoes evenly, ensuring every piece is well covered for roasting.
- Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small separate bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (optional), minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (optional) until well combined to create a flavorful sauce.
- Coat the potatoes: Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over the potatoes in the bowl and toss thoroughly to ensure all potatoes are evenly coated with the mixture, maximizing flavor.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing them halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning. The potatoes should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with the fresh chopped parsley and serve warm as a tasty side dish to complement your meal.
Notes
- You can use either regular or baby potatoes, but baby potatoes cook faster and hold their shape well.
- For extra crispiness, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; spread potatoes evenly in a single layer.
- Whole grain mustard adds texture but can be omitted if preferred for a smoother sauce.
- The smoked paprika is optional but adds a wonderful smoky depth of flavor to the potatoes.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
