Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 2 tbsps butter, melted
- 2 tbsps honey
- 2 tbsps Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preparation: Ignite the oven to 400°F (200°C) and shield a baking sheet with parchment paper or a delicate mist of cooking spray.
- Glaze Creation: Whisk olive oil, melted butter, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika into a harmonious, velvety sauce that promises intense flavor complexity.
- Potato Coating: Halve the potatoes and gently envelop them in the honey mustard elixir, ensuring each morsel is lavishly draped in the aromatic glaze, creating a uniform and tantalizing exterior.
- Strategic Placement: Distribute the glazed potato halves across the prepared baking sheet in a precise, single-layer arrangement that guarantees optimal caramelization and crisp texture.
- Roasting Ritual: Slide the baking sheet into the heated oven and roast for 35-40 minutes, executing a mid-cooking flip with tongs to cultivate golden-brown edges and a magnificently crisp surface that crackles with each bite.
- Finishing Touch: Emerge the potatoes from the oven once they’ve transformed into a caramelized masterpiece, then crown with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of verdant brightness.
- Serving Suggestion: Present these honey mustard potatoes piping hot, allowing guests to savor the symphony of sweet, tangy, and savory notes that dance across the palate.
Notes
- Potato Selection Matters: Choose medium-sized, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and even roasting.
- Glaze Coating Technique: Ensure potatoes are completely and evenly coated by using a large mixing bowl and gently tossing them to maximize flavor absorption.
- Spacing Trick: Leave enough space between potato halves on the baking sheet to prevent steaming and promote crispy, golden-brown edges.
- Temperature Precision: Use an oven thermometer to confirm accurate temperature, as uneven heating can result in inconsistent potato crispiness.
