Instructions
- Wash the Potatoes: Rinse the baby potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Keep the skins on for this recipe.
- Cut the Potatoes: Cut larger potatoes in half or quarters to ensure even cooking.
- Boil the Potatoes: In a large pot, add water and a generous pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then add the potatoes. Cook for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender but not mushy.

- Combine Potatoes and Sauce: In a large bowl, add the drained potatoes and pour the honey mustard sauce over them.
- Toss Gently: Carefully toss the potatoes to coat them evenly without breaking them.
- Marinate (Optional): Let the coated potatoes sit for 15-30 minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
- Spread the Potatoes: Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast the Potatoes: Roast for 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
- Check for Doneness: Ensure they are golden brown and crispy. If needed, roast for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving dish and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
