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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
