Directions
Prepping the Potatoes
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, ensuring they’re all relatively the same size for even cooking.
Making the Honey Mustard Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Tossing the Potatoes
Place the halved potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the honey mustard glaze over the potatoes, then toss them well to coat them evenly.
Roasting the Potatoes
Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure there’s enough space between them to allow for crisping. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.
Garnishing and Serving
Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Even Roasting: Make sure to space out the potatoes on the baking sheet to ensure they roast evenly and get crispy.
- Extra Crispiness: For an extra crispy exterior, toss the potatoes in a little bit of cornstarch before adding the glaze.
- Mustard Variations: If you prefer a spicier kick, you can substitute the Dijon mustard with spicy brown mustard.
Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions
- Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey to make the glaze vegan-friendly.
- Herb Infusion: Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or oregano to the glaze for an herbal twist.
- Cheesy Touch: After roasting, sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for an extra layer of flavor.
Serving and Pairing Suggestions
These Honey Mustard Roasted Potatoes are a versatile side that pairs beautifully with:
- Roast Chicken: The sweet and tangy flavor complements roasted chicken perfectly.
- Steak or Pork: Serve with a juicy steak or pork chops for a hearty meal.
- Green Vegetables: Pair with roasted broccoli, sautéed spinach, or a mixed green salad for a balanced meal.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until crispy again. You can also microwave individual servings, though they won’t be as crispy.
FAQs
Q: Can I use other types of potatoes?
A: Yes, you can use russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes, though baby potatoes have the best texture for roasting. Just cut them into evenly sized chunks for consistent cooking.
Q: Can I make these potatoes ahead of time?
A: You can prep the potatoes and make the glaze in advance. Simply toss and roast them when you’re ready to serve. You can also roast them in advance and reheat them for a few minutes in the oven.
Q: How can I make the glaze spicier?
A: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the honey mustard mixture for some extra heat.
Q: Can I make these potatoes crispy in a different way?
A: Yes, you can also make these potatoes in an air fryer for a quicker, equally crispy result. Simply toss them in the glaze and cook them at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes, shaking halfway through.
