How to Make Honey Mustard Roasted Potatoes
This honey mustard roasted potatoes recipe is a fun and flavorful side dish that’s quick to whip up! It’s perfect for everything from cozy family dinners to fancy holiday feasts. Seriously, these potatoes are a crowd-pleaser that everyone will love!
What You’ll Need:
- Baby potatoes – 2 pounds of Yukon gold or red. I prefer Yukon gold for their creamy texture and buttery flavor!
- Honey – 1/4 cup. Use local honey if you can; it adds a delightful touch!
- Dijon mustard – 1/4 cup. I love Grey Poupon for that nice tang.
- Olive oil – 3 tablespoons. A good quality olive oil makes all the difference; I recommend California Olive Ranch.
- Garlic – 2 cloves, minced. Fresh garlic gives an amazing flavor punch!
- Dried thyme – 1 teaspoon (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme). Fresh thyme adds a lovely aroma, but dried works great too.
- Salt and pepper – to taste. Always taste as you go!
- Fresh parsley – chopped, for garnish. It brightens up the dish beautifully!
The Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper—you’ll thank yourself later for easy cleanup!
- Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly. If you have any larger potatoes, cut them in half; smaller ones can stay whole.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well combined—it should smell heavenly!
- Add the potatoes to the bowl and gently toss them in the honey mustard mixture until they’re evenly coated. Every potato deserves that yummy glaze!
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they’re not overcrowded for that perfect crispy texture.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through to ensure they brown evenly. You want them golden brown and tender, so poke one with a fork for that perfect test!
- Once they’re done, take them out and let them cool for a few minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you’d like—maybe a little extra salt?
- Finally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and fresh flavor. Enjoy your delicious honey mustard roasted potatoes!
These potatoes are not only easy to make but also bring a delightful sweetness and tang to the table. Trust me, they’ll disappear fast!
Can I Use Other Types of Potatoes?
Absolutely! While baby Yukon gold or red potatoes work best, you can also use fingerling potatoes or even regular-sized potatoes, just cut them into smaller pieces to ensure even cooking. Just keep in mind that different potatoes may vary slightly in cooking time.
What If I’m Out of Dijon Mustard?
No problem! You can substitute Dijon mustard with yellow mustard for a milder flavor, or use honey mustard for extra sweetness. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a spicy brown mustard for a little kick!
How Can I Store Leftover Roasted Potatoes?
Store any leftover honey mustard roasted potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply toss them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of olive oil if needed to revive their texture.
Can I Make This Recipe Ahead of Time?
Yes, you can prepare the potatoes and the honey mustard mixture a day ahead! Just coat the potatoes and store them in the refrigerator in a covered bowl. When you’re ready to cook, just spread them on the baking sheet and roast as directed!
