Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
Sauce & Seasoning
- 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 (for garnish)
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 prevent sticking.
- Prepare the potatoes: Place the halved baby potatoes in a large bowl. Drizzle them with olive oil and melted butter, tossing well to coat each piece evenly. This ensures the potatoes will roast nicely and develop a crisp exterior.
- Make the honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using) until smooth and well combined. This mixture adds a perfect balance of sweetness, tang, and subtle spice.
- Coat the potatoes: Pour the honey mustard sauce over the prepared potatoes and toss thoroughly so every potato half is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Roast the potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. Roast until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a fresh, bright finish. Serve warm as a delicious side dish to complement any meal.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerlings or small Yukon gold potatoes for a similar texture.
- Smoked paprika adds a subtle smoky flavor but is optional if you prefer a more straightforward honey mustard taste.
- These potatoes pair wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
