Ingredients:
- 1 lb mixed baby or fingerling potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of freshly minced chives, for topping
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by either lining it with parchment paper or giving it a light coating of oil to prevent sticking. - Prepare the potatoes:
Wash the baby or fingerling potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half or quarters for even cooking. Leave the smaller ones whole. Place the prepared potatoes in a large mixing bowl. - Make the honey mustard sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, chicken broth, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and paprika. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This sauce will coat the potatoes, providing a rich, flavorful glaze as they roast. - Toss the potatoes:
Pour the honey mustard mixture over the potatoes in the mixing bowl. Toss the potatoes well, making sure each piece is evenly coated in the sauce. - Roast the potatoes:
Spread the coated potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Arrange them in a single layer to ensure they roast evenly. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork. - Garnish and serve:
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and a hint of freshness. Serve the potatoes hot as a delicious side dish to accompany chicken, fish, or grilled meats.

These Honey Mustard Roasted Potatoes are a simple yet flavorful side dish that will quickly become a staple at your dinner table.
