Barefoot Contessa Mustard Roasted Potatoes Recipe Ingredients

• 2 pounds baby Yukon Gold or red potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

How To Make Barefoot Contessa Mustard Roasted Potatoes

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the potatoes: Halve baby potatoes or chop larger ones into bite-sized pieces.
3. Mix the mustard coating: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using).
4. Toss to coat: Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss until they’re fully coated with the mustard mixture.
5. Roast until golden: Spread potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and browned.
6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve warm.

Recipe Tips

• Can I use regular potatoes instead of baby potatoes?
  Yes, just cut them into small, evenly sized chunks for even roasting.
• How to get extra crispy potatoes:
  Make sure the potatoes are dry before coating and don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
• Can I make this ahead of time?
  Yes, roast ahead and reheat in the oven at 400°F for 10–15 minutes before serving.
• Is there a substitute for whole-grain mustard?
  You can double the Dijon or use stone-ground mustard for a similar texture.
• What herbs pair well with mustard potatoes?
  Fresh thyme and parsley are ideal, but rosemary also works well.

How To Store Mustard Roasted Potatoes

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
