This easy recipe combines the tangy kick of Dijon and whole grain mustards with aromatic garlic and onion powders, roasted to golden perfection for a satisfying crunch and tender interior.

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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crispy texture.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
