Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs baby potatoes: These little gems are the star of the dish, providing a fluffy interior and a crispy exterior when roasted. Their size allows for even cooking and a perfect bite-sized portion.
- 3 tbsp olive oil: Provides the necessary fat for roasting, ensuring the potatoes become crispy, while also enhancing the flavor of the dish.
- 2 tbsp honey: Adds a natural sweetness that beautifully balances the tanginess of the mustard, creating a glaze that coats each potato perfectly.
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard: The primary mustard in the recipe, lending a sharp, tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the honey.
- 1 tbsp whole grain mustard (optional): Adds texture and additional flavor complexity to the glaze, though can be omitted if unavailable.
- 1 tbsp lemon juice: Introduces acidity, brightening the dish and enhancing the flavors of the other ingredients.
- 1 tsp garlic powder: Provides a hint of garlic flavor, making the potatoes even more aromatic.
- Salt and pepper to taste: Essential for seasoning, bringing out the natural flavors of the potatoes.
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish): This adds a fresh touch at the end, as well as a burst of color to your finished dish.
Instructions
- Prepping the Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them in half. This ensures they cook evenly and allows formaximum flavor absorption from the glaze.
- Making the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp of olive oil, 2 tbsp of honey, 2 tbsp of Dijon mustard, (and 1 tbsp of whole-grain mustard if you’re using it), 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined, forming a smooth glaze that will coat your potatoes.
- Tossing the Potatoes: Take your halved potatoes and spread them out on a large baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle the prepared honey mustard glaze over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Using your hands or a spatula, toss the potatoes gently in the glaze until they are well-covered.
- Roasting: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for about 30-35 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potatoes to ensure they brown evenly. You’re looking for a golden brown color and a crispy texture.
- Garnishing and Serving: Once the potatoes are roasted to perfection, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes!
