Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 3 pounds red or yellow skin potatoes, quartered or cubed if large
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed through garlic press
  • Salt, to taste
  • Cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian dried herbs
  • 1 tablespoon chopped, flat-leaf parsley

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Gather and prepare all the ingredients; quarter or cube the potatoes and have the olive oil, Dijon mustard, pressed garlic, spices, and parsley ready.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
  3. Season Potatoes: In a bowl, combine olive oil, Dijon mustard, and pressed garlic. Pour this mixture over the potatoes along with liberal pinches of salt and cracked black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat every piece evenly.
  4. Arrange and Add Spices: Spread the coated potatoes evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the potatoes with paprika and Italian dried herbs to impart extra flavor.
  5. Roast: Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until they are tender inside and golden brown on the outside, ensuring a crispy texture.
  6. Finish and Serve: Once roasted, sprinkle the chopped flat-leaf parsley over the potatoes for a fresh, vibrant finish. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • You can use either red or yellow potatoes depending on your preference; both roast beautifully.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and spices to suit your taste.
  • For extra crispiness, you can increase the roasting time by 5-10 minutes, keeping an eye to avoid burning.
  • These potatoes pair well with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
  • Make sure to toss the potatoes well in the oil mixture to ensure even roasting and flavor coating.
