Ingredients
- 2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- ⅓ cup sour cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Prep and Preheat
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Toss the Potatoes
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
- Add the halved baby potatoes and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the mustard mixture.
Roast
- Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet, cut side down for the crispiest edges.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and fork-tender, flipping halfway through for even browning.
Add Creaminess & Serve
- Transfer the hot Roasted potatoes back to the mixing bowl. Add sour cream and toss gently to coat the potatoes in the creamy sauce.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Cut potatoes into evenly sized pieces for uniform roasting.
- For extra crispiness, let the potatoes rest for 5 minutes on the baking sheet after roasting before tossing with the sauce.
- You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a lighter version.
Variations
- Spicy Kick: Stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of hot sauce to the mustard mix.
- Herby Upgrade: Add chopped rosemary or dill for an aromatic twist.
- Cheesy Finish: Toss the roasted potatoes with a handful of grated Parmesan before adding the sour cream.
Required Equipment
- Large baking sheet
- Parchment paper or foil
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Spatula or wooden spoon
Storage Instructions
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes—they’ll crisp up better than in the microwave!
- Freezing is not recommended, as the sauce may separate.
Suggested Pairings & Serving Ideas
- Great alongside roasted or grilled meats like chicken, pork chops, or steak.
- Delicious as a hearty salad topper or served with steamed greens.

Pro Tips
