Buttery, garlicky, with a touch of sweetness, these potatoes go with anything. Excellent side dish for any occasion like my Red Garlic Mashed Potatoes, whether it's an easy weeknight dinner or Holiday dinner.
Why this recipe works
These roasted potatoes use simple ingredients and are my absolute favorite way of making potatoes. The honey and butter give the potatoes the best caramelization. They stay soft on the inside with a crispness on the outside and are delicious with my Grilled Soy Sauce Chicken.
Ingredients Needed
Ingredients Notes
Potatoes: I use white New potatoes but baby potatoes or even Yukon Gold potatoes will also work.
Onions: I use a white onion but sweet onions are also fine.
Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves are the best, but you can use garlic powder if needed.
Fresh Parsley: this adds color and brightness to the finished dish.
Dry Mustard: mustard and honey blend so well together.
How to make this recipe
Step 1: Cut potatoes into halves or quarters, and place into a large bowl with the onions and garlic.
Step 2: In a small bowl combine the melted butter, honey, mustard, and red pepper and mix until combined.
Step 3: Pour mixture over potatoes and toss until combined.
Step 4: Place potatoes into a single layer in a large oven-safe skillet or rimmed baking sheet, sprayed with a little cooking spray
Recipe tips
I used white potatoes, but you could use red potatoes if you want.
Depending on how large your potatoes are, slice them either in half or quarters. Just make sure the potatoes are close to the same size.
I used a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, but you can use a baking sheet or baking dish.
Make sure your potatoes are one layer, to get the desired caramelization on each potato.
Fresh chopped parsley gives it such a pretty finish.

Place your skillet in the center of the oven. It's important to toss your potatoes every 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Hi Wendy, What temp due you set the oven and for how long do you cook the potatoes.
Thanks,
Lee
Make sure you place the potatoes on the center oven rack. Mix the potatoes well so the honey is well distributed. Maybe your oven bakes really hot, you could bring down the temp to 400 and just make sure to keep an eye on them and give them a stir if you see them burning.
I doubled the recipe last night and baked it on a baking sheet and the potatoes got a bit charred. I also did not have dry mustard and substituted dijon instead. What should I have done to prevent the potatoes from burning rather than getting caramelized. TIA
New potatoes or creamer potatoes are too tiny to peel, so I leave the peel on.
Do you peel the potatoes or leave the skin on
No don't cover it Allie. The potatoes wont brown if you do.
Do you cover this while baking?
