Roasted Red Potatoes with Dijon Mustard
Roasted red potatoes are a staple at our house. I love them because (1) they are super easy to make (2) everyone likes them (3) while they cook, the rest of dinner can be made and (4) they go with just about anything! That is a whole lot of reasons to always keep some in the fridge ready to be pulled out at a moments notice. We hope you enjoy this simple roasted red potato recipe with the delicious Dijon mustard crust to jazz them up just a bit.

Salt
Fresh cracked black pepper
Country style Dijon mustard
Parchment Paper for easy clean up
Preparation for Roasted Red Potatoes with Dijon Mustard
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash potatoes.
Slice potatoes into equal size pieces (for the baby red potatoes I usually do quarters). Place a generous amount of salt and pepper on the potatoes. Drizzle all over with olive oil. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard. Using your hands, toss until well coated.
Place in oven. After about 30 minutes, toss them. Potatoes will take about 45 minutes – 1 hour depending on your preferred level of crispiness.
Important Tips:
However you slice the potatoes, just make sure they are about the same size for even cooking time.
Variations:
Slice the potatoes into rounds instead.
Use different seasonings, whatever you think will compliment what else you are cooking. I’ve also heard of Lipton Onion Soup Mix being used on the potatoes.
Meal Ideas:
Like I said, these go with just about anything!! But here are a few of our favorite suggestions:
Pork Tenderloin and Asparagus
Beef Tenderloin and Garlic Green Beans
Got Leftovers?:
Make a frittata for breakfast the next morning and use them!
I have made roasted potatoes more times than I can count and I my kids never liked them. I’m not really sure why. They both like french fries and one likes mashed potatoes, so it’s not like they hate potatoes. I made these last night for the first time. I can’t begin to tell you how much everyone enjoyed them. I guess Melissa really knows what she’s talking about!!!!
