Ingredients
- 2 lbs baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
Directions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and halve the baby potatoes, ensuring they’re all relatively the same size for even cooking.
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard (if using), lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat the Potatoes: Place the halved potatoes on a large baking sheet. Drizzle the honey mustard glaze over the potatoes, then toss them well to coat them evenly.
- Roast the Potatoes: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure there’s enough space between them to allow for crisping. Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges. You can flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even crispness.
- Garnish and Serve: Once roasted, remove the potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.

Variations

- Cheesy Touch: After roasting, sprinkle the potatoes with grated Parmesan or crumbled feta for an extra layer of flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Store any leftover potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes, or until crispy again. You can also microwave individual servings, though they won’t be as crispy.
