2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional, to balance flavors)
2 garlic cloves, minced

Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)

How to Make Honey Mustard Potatoes: Step-by-Step

Prepare the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F), fan setting if possible.
Wash the potatoes thoroughly. If using organic baby potatoes, you can leave the skins on for extra texture and flavor.
Cut the potatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size.

Make the Honey Mustard Sauce

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the honey, mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and minced garlic.
Season generously with salt and pepper.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the sauce.

Roast the Potatoes

Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not overcrowded so they roast evenly and get crispy.
Scatter fresh thyme or rosemary on top if desired.
Roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve hot, straight from the oven. For extra flavor, you can drizzle a little more honey or mustard over the top before serving.

Tips for Perfect Honey Mustard Potatoes

Choose the right potatoes: Baby potatoes or new potatoes work best because they stay firm and flavorful when roasted.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: Spread the potatoes out in a single layer so they roast and crisp up properly. If they’re too crowded, they’ll steam instead of roast.
Customize your mustard: Use Dijon for a bold kick, or whole grain mustard for a more rustic texture.
Experiment with herbs: Thyme and rosemary pair beautifully with honey mustard, but you can also try parsley, oregano, or chives for a fresh finish.
