Ingredients
Seasoning Mix
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard (Dijon can be used too)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Main Ingredient
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, diced into small pieces
Optional Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425℉ to ensure it’s hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a perfect crisp.
- Prepare Honey Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard, and 2 tablespoons honey until combined. Gradually add 1/4 cup olive oil while whisking to emulsify the sauce.
- Dice Potatoes: Cut 1.5 pounds of baby potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces. Placing them in a large mixing bowl will make coating easier.
- Coat Potatoes: Pour the prepared honey mustard sauce over the diced potatoes and toss thoroughly to ensure every piece is well coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow even roasting. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast Potatoes: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the potatoes halfway through the roasting time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Rest: Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool slightly, as the honey will retain heat and make the potatoes very hot.
- Add Fresh Thyme: Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of fresh thyme over the roasted potatoes if desired, adding a fresh aromatic touch.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the honey mustard roasted baby potatoes warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the honey mustard sauce.
- Make sure to cut the potatoes into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking.
- Use Dijon mustard if whole-grain mustard is not available for a smoother texture.
- Fresh thyme is optional but adds a wonderful herbal aroma and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
