Description

This roasted potatoes recipe features large potato chunks coated in a flavorful blend of olive oil, whole-grain mustard, butter, garlic, lemon, and rosemary, then slow roasted until perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It makes for a delicious and hearty side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses.


Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds potatoes (scrubbed)

Seasoning Mix

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup whole-grain mustard
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 3 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 sprigs rosemary (leaves finely chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into large 2-inch chunks to ensure even roasting.
  2. Make the Mustard Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, whole-grain mustard, melted butter, crushed garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, finely chopped rosemary leaves, salt, and pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat Potatoes: Add the potato chunks into the bowl with the mustard mixture and use a spoon to thoroughly coat each piece, ensuring all sides are well covered with the seasoning blend.
  4. Roast the Potatoes: Arrange the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Place the sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 40 minutes, or until the potatoes develop a crispy exterior and a soft, fluffy interior. Turn the potatoes halfway through cooking if desired for even crispiness.

Notes

  • Use uniform-sized potato chunks to ensure even cooking.
  • For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 400°F in the last 10 minutes of roasting.
  • Fresh rosemary enhances flavor, but dried rosemary can be used if fresh is unavailable—use about 1 teaspoon if dried.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on your preference.
  • This dish can be served hot or warm as a comforting side.
