Step-by-step instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard (if using), minced garlic, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Add the halved baby potatoes to the bowl, tossing them to ensure they’re well-coated with the mustard mixture.
- Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, making sure they aren’t overcrowded for optimal roasting.
- Roast them in the oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and tender.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley just before serving for an extra burst of color and flavor.
Best ways to enjoy it
Honey Mustard Potatoes shine as a side dish to pretty much any main course! They pair wonderfully with grilled chicken, roasted meats, or even a hearty grain salad.

Storage and reheating tips
If you have any leftovers, don’t fret! You can store your Honey Mustard Potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10–15 minutes until warmed through. If you want to keep them fresh for longer, consider freezing them before roasting. Just be sure to allow for proper cooling before placing them in the freezer!
Helpful cooking tips
- For extra crispiness, give your potatoes a quick dry with a paper towel after washing. Less moisture means a crunchier exterior!
- Experiment with different mustards! Spicy brown mustard or even honey mustard can add new layers of flavor.
- If you love garlic, don’t shy away from adding more minced cloves or even roasted garlic for a creamier flavor.
Creative twists
Feeling adventurous? Here are a few variations to mix things up:
- Herb-Infused Oil: Mix in some fresh rosemary or thyme with the olive oil to infuse an aromatic flavor.
- Cheesy Goodness: Sprinkle some grated Parmesan or feta on top during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a decadent twist.
- Spicy Kick: Add a teaspoon of chili flakes to bring a bit of heat to the sweet and tangy flavor base.
