Oven Roasted Potatoes Ingredients
- Potatoes: This recipe works best with a potato where the skin is tender enough that it doesn't need to be peeled— red potatoes, fingerling potatoes, Yukon potatoes, etc. Stay away from russet potatoes as the skin is too tough.
- Onion: You want an onion with a more mild flavor like a white or sweet onion.
- Olive Oil: Using olive oil allows you to use a higher temperature in the oven, whereas if you use butter, it will burn.
- Mustard: You want to use whole grain mustard— this is key.
- Spices: We're using a combination of garlic powder, salt and pepper to "marinate" the potatoes and then finishing them off with tons of fresh parsley and chives.
