Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900g) Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
Honey Mustard Sauce
- ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) oil
- ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) honey
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes later.
- Prepare Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them into a pot of salted cold water to start boiling.
- Parboil Potatoes: Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes until they are fork tender but not falling apart. Then drain the water.
- Make Honey Mustard Sauce: While the potatoes are boiling, whisk together oil, honey, Dijon mustard, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper in a bowl to create the honey mustard sauce.
- Coat Potatoes: Place the cooked and drained potatoes into a large bowl and gently toss them with the honey mustard sauce, taking care not to break the potato chunks.
- Prepare for Roasting: Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the coated potatoes in a single even layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast Potatoes: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes to prevent the honey from burning and to ensure an even crispy texture.
Notes
- Choose Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture and flavor.
- Be gentle when coating potatoes with the sauce to keep them intact.
- Turning the potatoes frequently during roasting prevents sugar from the honey from burning and achieves even crispiness.
- You can customize this recipe by adding garlic powder or fresh herbs like rosemary for additional flavor.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
