Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes:
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Fats and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or applying a light coating of cooking spray.
- Create a flavorful glaze by combining olive oil, melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly until they form a smooth, well-integrated sauce.
- Cut the potatoes in half and carefully fold them into the prepared honey mustard mixture, ensuring each potato piece is completely and evenly coated with the aromatic glaze.
- Arrange the glazed potato halves on the prepared baking sheet, positioning them in a single layer to promote even cooking and maximum crispiness.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for approximately 35-40 minutes, using tongs to carefully flip them midway through the cooking process to achieve uniform golden-brown edges and a perfectly crisp exterior.
- Once the potatoes are beautifully caramelized and crisp, remove them from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
- Serve the honey mustard potatoes immediately while they are hot and at their most flavorful, allowing diners to enjoy the delightful combination of sweet, tangy, and savory notes.
Notes
- Customize the spiciness by adjusting the type of mustard or adding a pinch of cayenne for extra heat.
- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Ensure even coating by tossing potatoes gently and spreading them in a single layer to prevent steaming.
- Swap honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly version or use agave nectar for a different flavor profile.
