Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 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
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it is hot enough for roasting the potatoes to a crispy texture.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Step 3: Add the halved baby potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with the mustard mixture.
  4. Step 4: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
  5. Step 5: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning and a crispy exterior.
  6. Step 6: Remove from the oven and let the potatoes cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crispiness, parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes before coating them.
  • Swap out parsley for fresh chives or thyme for a different herbal note.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the mustard mixture for a smoky or spicy kick.

Storage

Store leftover potato poppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 8-10 minutes to restore their crispiness, or microwave briefly if short on time.
