Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs red potatoes
- 3 tbsp yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp canola oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Wash the red potatoes thoroughly under cold running water. Cut the potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes, ensuring each piece is roughly the same size for even cooking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, canola oil, garlic powder, salt, and paprika until well combined and smooth.
- Add the cubed potatoes to the mustard mixture, using a spatula or large spoon to coat each potato piece completely and evenly with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow proper roasting and crispy edges.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-28 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing with a fork. They should be golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving hot as a side dish.
Tips
- Potato Cutting Hack: Ensure all potato cubes are roughly the same size to guarantee even cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Seasoning Secret: Don't be shy with the mustard mixture – make sure every potato cube is generously and evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Spacing Matters: Give your potatoes breathing room on the baking sheet. Overcrowding will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them, preventing that sought-after crispy exterior.
- Halfway Turn Technique: Flipping the potatoes midway through cooking ensures an even, golden-brown color and prevents any soggy spots.
- Freshness is Key: Use fresh, high-quality red potatoes for the best texture and flavor. Avoid potatoes with sprouts or green spots.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve immediately after cooking for the ultimate crispy texture and maximum flavor impact.
