This is one of those easy side dishes that will have you scraping the baking pan just to get all of that extra goodness off. Small potatoes are roasted, smashed, and then drowned in a honey, butter filled pool of flavor. It’s so easy to make. Aren’t those always the best side dishes?
We absolutely love these potatoes. They are neutral enough that they can be served with a variety of main dishes, and tasty enough that the serving plate will be licked clean. These babies are even good as leftovers. Make sure you serve them up with all that delicious butter that leaks out onto the pan. It is absolutely heavenly!
Ingredients5 small baby red potatoes
1/2 cup butter melted
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Method* Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
* Clean the potatoes and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until potatoes can be smashed with a fork.
* Actual baking time will depend on the size of the potatoes. Larger potatoes take longer.
* In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter with honey, dijon mustard, salt, and oregano.
* Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use a fork to smash each potato, as pictured.
* Pour the butter mixture over the potatoes.
* Return to the oven and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, giving it a little time to melt and slightly caramelize into the potato.
* Serve hot with juice
