Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes (or potatoes cut into 1.5 inch cubes)
Sauce and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes or cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat and cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes well.
- Fry Potatoes: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside, about 10 minutes.
- Make Sauce: In a small bowl, combine honey, dijon mustard, grainy mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a smooth honey mustard sauce.
- Toss and Finish: Pour the honey mustard sauce over the golden potatoes in the skillet. Toss thoroughly to coat all the potatoes evenly. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to heat through and slightly caramelize on the potatoes. Remove from heat and serve warm.
Notes
- You can substitute baby potatoes with any small waxy potatoes or cut larger potatoes into similar-sized cubes for even cooking.
- Using butter instead of olive oil will give a richer flavor but may slightly increase the saturated fat content.
- Adjust the amount of mustard and honey to your preferred balance of tangy and sweet flavors.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the sauce.
- Serve these potatoes as a side dish with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
