Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 lbs (900g) Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
Honey Mustard Sauce
- 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the potatoes evenly and to a crisp golden finish.
- Prepare potatoes: Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Leaving the skin on is optional but recommended for added texture and nutrients.
- Mix honey mustard sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, and apple cider vinegar until well combined to create a flavorful coating for the potatoes.
- Coat potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes into the bowl with the honey mustard mixture and toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Season: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, tossing again to distribute the seasoning evenly across the potatoes.
- Arrange for roasting: Spread the coated potato cubes in a single layer on a large baking sheet to ensure even roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to promote uniform browning on all sides.
- Check doneness: The potatoes are finished when they are golden brown on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork, indicating they are cooked through.
- Cool slightly: Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes to set the flavors and make them easier to serve.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the potatoes for a fresh, vibrant finish before serving.
Notes
- You can leave the potato skins on for extra texture and nutrition.
- Toss the potatoes gently when flipping to avoid breaking their shape.
- Adjust honey and mustard amounts to taste for a sweeter or tangier flavor.
- Use a rimmed baking sheet to prevent any sauce from spilling in the oven.
- For crispier potatoes, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
