Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes (or potatoes cut into 1.5 inch cubes)
Sauce and Seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
- 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 over high heat and cook the potatoes until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly.
- Fry Potatoes: Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the drained potatoes and fry them, turning occasionally, until they develop a golden-brown crust, about 10 minutes.
- Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine the honey, dijon mustard, grainy mustard, apple cider vinegar, chopped garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed.
- Toss and Finish Cooking: Pour the honey mustard sauce over the fried potatoes in the skillet. Toss to coat the potatoes evenly and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken around the potatoes.
Notes
- Use baby potatoes for quicker cooking or cut larger potatoes into uniform 1.5 inch cubes for even cooking.
- The combination of dijon and grainy mustard provides both creaminess and texture; substitute with whole grain mustard if desired.
- Adjust the honey amount depending on your preferred sweetness level.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, butter can be substituted for olive oil when frying the potatoes.
- Serve warm as a side dish to grilled meats or a hearty salad.
