Potatoes
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
Mustard Mixture
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes at high heat for a crispy exterior.
- Mix Mustard Sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Coat Potatoes: Add the halved baby potatoes to the mustard mixture and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated potatoes in a single even layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to ensure even roasting and easy cleanup.
- Roast Potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the cooking time to promote even browning and crispiness.
- Cool and Garnish: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the potatoes from the oven, allow them to cool slightly, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak halved potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking and pat dry to remove excess starch.
- Adjust the mustard quantity according to your taste preference for more or less tanginess.
- These poppers can be served as a side dish or a party appetizer.
- Fresh parsley adds color and a fresh herbaceous note but can be omitted if unavailable.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and aid in easy cleanup.
- Can be prepared ahead and reheated in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes before serving.
