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: Cleanse potatoes thoroughly, then slice into uniform, bite-sized wedges for consistent roasting and crisp texture.
- Glaze Creation: Whisk honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic in a spacious bowl until mixture transforms into a glossy, well-integrated marinade.
- Seasoning and Coating: Immerse potato wedges in the honey mustard glaze, ensuring complete coverage, then sprinkle salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, gently massaging seasonings into the surface.
- Roasting Setup: Spread seasoned wedges across a baking sheet in a single, uncrowded layer, positioning in a preheated oven at 425°F for 25-30 minutes.
- Monitoring and Finishing: Rotate pan midway through cooking to promote even caramelization, checking potatoes with a fork for golden-brown exterior and tender interior. Allow potatoes to rest briefly after removing from oven, enabling glaze to set and flavors to intensify before serving.
Notes
- Slice Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform wedges to ensure consistent cooking and crispy texture throughout.
- Coat Thoroughly: Toss potatoes completely in honey mustard glaze, ensuring every piece is generously covered for maximum flavor absorption.
- Space Strategically: Spread potato wedges in a single layer without overcrowding to promote perfect roasting and crisp exterior.
- Check Doneness Carefully: Test potatoes with a fork to confirm golden-brown crispness and tender interior before removing from oven.
