- Stone Ground Mustard
- Fresh Rosemary
- Salt and Pepper
- Ground Mustard

For years and years I didn’t like mustard. Then I discovered what a revelation stone ground was. It’s none of that yellow garbage – it’s spicy and tangy and when paired with brown sugar for a hint of sweetness and fresh rosemary for some needed earthiness, it’s undeniably delicious!
How to oven roast potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes. Learn how to below!
- Whisk together the remaining ingredients. In a big ol’ bowl.
- Toss the potatoes. In the big bowl. Make sure the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Roast the potatoes. In a pan that’s been preheating in the oven. This makes for perfectly crispy taters.
Mix the seasonings. Toss the potatoes to coat. Roast until crispy.
The key to this recipe is evenly cut potatoes. I’ve been doing it for years, but realize it may not be common knowledge of how to cut potatoes. Here’s how!
How to Cut Potatoes:
- Cut the potatoes in half. The long way. It’s easier to cut cubes when there is a flat side to work with.
- Then cut the halves in half. The wide way. To make two flat potato disks, essentially.
- Cut the halves into thirds. The long way. To make long sticks of potatoes. Rotate the potatoes 90 degrees and…
- Turn the sticks into cubes. Voila! That easy! Now you have perfectly symmetrical chunks of potatoes that will roast evenly.
Cut the potatoes in half. Cut the halves in half. Cut the halves into sticks. Cut the sticks into cubes.

Ingredients
- 2 lbs. Red or Yukon Gold potatoes washed well and cut into ½ inch pieces, skins left on
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup stone ground mustard
- 1 ½ - 2 tablespoon kosher salt more or less to taste

Instructions

- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together everything but the potatoes until a thick paste forms. Dump in the potatoes and stir to coat.
- Without removing pan from oven (although you can pull it out about halfway, very carefully) pour potatoes onto pan. You'll hear sizzling and popping - that's good! That's going to give the potatoes a nice crust!
- Bake in preheated oven for 40 – 45 minutes, tossing potatoes after about 20 minutes. Remove from oven when potatoes are golden brown and easily pierced with a fork.
Notes
