Honey Mustard Potatoes are everything you want in a side dish—crispy on the edges, fluffy in the center, and drenched in a rich, sticky glaze that balances sweetness with tang. Whether you’re pairing them with grilled meats, serving them at a potluck, or enjoying them straight from the sheet pan, these potatoes bring effortless charm to any meal.

The real magic lies in the glaze. A simple mix of pantry staples like honey, Dijon mustard, and a touch of garlic creates an irresistibly golden coating. Once roasted, the potatoes caramelize slightly, building layers of flavor that’ll make you come back for seconds… and thirds.

Why You’ll Love This Honey Mustard Potatoes Recipe

This recipe is a weeknight hero and a weekend favorite. You only need a few ingredients, and the prep is quick and easy. The oven does the heavy lifting while you get the rest of dinner ready—or just relax. It’s also flexible: use red potatoes, Yukon gold, or even baby potatoes. The glaze works with all.

Best of all, it’s family-approved. Kids love the sweetness from the honey, while adults appreciate the complex mustard notes and crispy texture. It’s a comforting side dish that feels a little fancy without trying too hard.

What Kind of Potatoes Should I Use?

For this recipe, baby Yukon gold or red potatoes work best because of their buttery texture and thin skins that crisp up beautifully in the oven. But if all you have on hand are russets or even fingerlings, go for it! Just be sure to cut them evenly so they roast at the same rate.

Ingredients for the Honey Mustard Potatoes

You don’t need a long list of ingredients to create something that tastes gourmet. These simple items come together to build a dish packed with flavor and texture. Each element plays a crucial role in making sure your potatoes turn out deliciously golden and satisfying.

• Baby potatoes
• Olive oil
• Honey
• Dijon mustard
• Garlic cloves
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Fresh parsley (optional)

How To Make the Honey Mustard Potatoes

Step 1: Prep and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash your baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them in half if they’re larger than bite-size. Leave the skins on for that rustic roasted finish.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth and emulsified. This mixture should be thick enough to coat the potatoes but not too heavy.

Step 3: Toss to Coat

Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss them well to coat every piece in that glossy honey mustard mixture. Make sure the glaze is evenly distributed for the best roasting result.

Step 4: Roast Until Golden

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping once halfway through. You’re looking for golden edges and tender centers.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately while they’re hot and crisp.

How to Serve and Store Honey Mustard Potatoes

This recipe yields enough for about 4 generous servings, making it ideal for a small gathering or as a weekday family side. They’re best enjoyed fresh from the oven when the glaze is sticky and the edges are crisp.

Leftovers? They store well in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container. To reheat, use a skillet over medium heat to bring back some of that crispy magic, or pop them back in the oven for a quick refresh.
