Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Mustard Mixture
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crispy texture.
- Prepare Mustard Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful coating for the potatoes.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the mustard mixture for maximum flavor infusion.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This setup helps with even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure they brown evenly and achieve a crispy exterior.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the golden-brown potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly. Optionally, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley to add a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling or red potatoes if desired.
- For extra crispiness, increase oven temperature slightly but monitor carefully to avoid burning.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be added for additional flavor variation.
- Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or a side dish alongside grilled meats or salads.
- The mustard mixture can be prepared a few hours ahead for deeper flavor penetration.
