What Kind of Potatoes Should I Use?
Baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes work beautifully in this recipe. Their tender, creamy centers and thin skins crisp up without peeling, making prep a breeze. If you’re using larger potatoes, simply cut them into bite-sized chunks so they roast evenly.
Ingredients for the Honey Mustard Potatoes
Baby Potatoes – Their small size means quicker cook time and better crisp factor. They also hold shape beautifully.
Dijon Mustard – Adds depth and sharpness to balance the sweetness. Yellow mustard can work in a pinch, but Dijon gives the best flavor.
Honey – For that glossy, sticky-sweet finish that caramelizes while roasting.
Olive Oil – Helps the potatoes crisp up and carries the flavors throughout.
Garlic Powder – Infuses a subtle savory punch without overpowering.
Dried Thyme or Italian Seasoning – Lends an herby touch that complements the mustard tang.
Salt & Pepper – Season generously to bring all the flavors to life.
How To Make the Honey Mustard Potatoes
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
Wash and dry the baby potatoes. Slice them in half to maximize surface area for crispiness. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2: Make the Honey Mustard Glaze
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step 3: Coat and Toss
Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss well until every piece is coated in the honey mustard mixture.
Step 4: Roast to Perfection
Spread the potatoes cut side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy on the edges.
Step 5: Serve
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the sweet-savory crunch.

How to Serve and Store Honey Mustard Potatoes
Serve these hot straight out of the oven for the best texture. They make a stellar companion to proteins like grilled chicken, steak, or tofu. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or the oven to restore the crisp.
