Honey Mustard Potatoes: Crispy Glaze

Honey Mustard Potatoes roast baby or fingerling potatoes in a sticky-sweet Dijon glaze with garlic, thyme, and paprika for crispy caramelized edges. This 40-minute side dish serves 4–6 alongside roasts, chicken, or salmon with balanced tangy warmth.

Why This Recipe Works

Parboiling creates fluffy interiors that crisp perfectly. Honey caramelizes without burning at high heat. Dijon adds emulsified cling without separation. Powdered spices penetrate evenly. Single-sheet method maximizes browning.
