Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash the 1½ lbs baby potatoes, pat them dry with paper towels, and slice them in half.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon onion powder, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using). Season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.

  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender with crispy, golden edges.

Notes

These Mustard Potato Poppers are a fantastic blend of crispy potatoes and a tangy, double-mustard glaze that brings a flavor punch to every bite. The crispy exteriors and creamy interiors make them perfect as a side dish for proteins like grilled chicken or steak, while the optional dipping sauce adds a burst of extra flavor. You can also experiment with sweet or purple potatoes and adjust the spice levels to your taste. This recipe is versatile enough for both casual weeknight dinners and special occasions.
