Ingredients
Potatoes
- 2 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut in half (or quartered/wedged if large or round)
Marinade
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 3-5 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
To Serve
- Chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 415°F (215°C) and prepare a baking tray. Cut the fingerling potatoes in half, or quarter/wedge large or round potatoes to ensure bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
- Make the Marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, Dijon mustard, and crushed garlic together until they form a smooth, emulsified marinade. Add the cut potatoes and toss thoroughly with a spatula to coat evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to your preference and mix again. For stronger flavor, let the potatoes marinate for up to 1 hour, or proceed directly to roasting.
- Roast Potatoes: Arrange the coated potatoes evenly on the baking tray in a single layer. Place the tray on the top rack of the oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes until the potatoes are tender inside and golden crispy outside. Stir halfway through roasting if desired to ensure even browning.
- Serve & Store: Once roasted, sprinkle chopped parsley over the potatoes if using and serve them warm. Leftover roasted potatoes keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and are best reheated in an oven, toaster oven, or air fryer to retain crispness. Avoid using a microwave as it softens the texture.
Notes
- You can adjust the garlic quantity based on your taste preference, but crushing it releases maximum flavor.
- Marinating the potatoes for up to one hour enhances the flavor, but it's optional if short on time.
- Use fingerling potatoes for a nice bite-sized texture; other waxy potatoes can be substituted but may alter cooking time.
- Reheating in an oven or air fryer helps maintain the crispy texture; microwaving will make them soggy.
