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.
