Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 lbs (900 g) baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon whole grain mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry the potatoes, then slice them into uniform, bite-sized wedges to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Create a vibrant glaze by whisking together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic in a spacious mixing bowl until the ingredients blend smoothly and develop a glossy consistency.
- Toss the potato wedges in the honey mustard mixture, making sure each piece is generously coated and glistening with the flavorful marinade.
- Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried thyme over the potatoes, gently massaging the seasonings to distribute them evenly across the surface.
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out in a single layer without overcrowding to promote optimal roasting and crispy texture.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through to guarantee uniform browning and caramelization.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork; they should be golden brown, crisp on the outside, and tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for a few minutes to allow the honey mustard glaze to set and intensify the flavors before serving.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for the best texture and even roasting.
- Pat potato chunks completely dry before seasoning to ensure crispy, golden edges that caramelize beautifully.
- Add fresh rosemary or thyme to the honey mustard mixture for an extra layer of aromatic flavor that complements the sweet and tangy sauce.
- For a gluten-free version, use stone-ground or Dijon mustard and check that honey is pure and unprocessed to meet dietary restrictions.
