Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes (or potatoes cut into 1.5 inch cubes)
Cooking Fat
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
Sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook Potatoes: Place the baby potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
- Fry Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and cook them until they develop a golden brown crust on the outside, which should take about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.
- Make Sauce: While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the sauce by mixing honey, dijon mustard, grainy mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Once the potatoes are golden, toss them in the honey mustard sauce in the skillet and cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly caramelize.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for quicker cooking or cut larger potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the amount of honey or mustard according to your preferred sweetness or tanginess.
- The dish can be made with butter instead of olive oil for a richer flavor.
- Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats, roasted chicken, or a fresh salad.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in a skillet to retain texture.
