Dijonnaise Potatoes
Creamy dijonnaise potatoes feature tender roasted red potatoes coated in a flavorful Dijon and butter glaze, perfect as a comforting side dish for family meals or gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Scrub and dry the potatoes; do not peel.
- Cut the potatoes into 3/4-inch slices and place in a casserole dish.
- Pour melted butter over the potatoes.
- Add salt, white pepper or garlic powder, and Dijon mustard.
- Bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potatoes before baking. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute half of the melted butter with sour cream or Greek yogurt. If red potatoes aren't available, Yukon Golds work well too. Adjust the Dijon mustard according to your taste; a whole grain mustard can add a nice texture.
Serving Suggestions
These Dijonnaise Potatoes make a delightful side dish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables. They pair beautifully with Baked Breaded Chicken or a fresh green salad for a complete meal. For a hearty vegetarian option, serve them alongside Cee'S Yams And Apples. A dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh chives can enhance the presentation and flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Dijonnaise Potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes or until warmed through. You can also microwave them for quicker reheating, but the oven will help maintain their crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of mustard?
Yes, you can experiment with different types of mustard such as spicy brown or honey mustard for a unique flavor twist. Each will give the dish a different character, so feel free to adjust according to your taste preference. Just keep in mind that the sweetness of honey mustard will alter the overall flavor profile.
How do I know when the potatoes are done baking?
The potatoes are done when they are tender and easily pierced with a fork. Baking at 400°F for about an hour usually achieves the desired texture, but you might need to adjust the time depending on the size of the potato slices. Stirring occasionally helps ensure even cooking and browning.
Can I prepare this dish in advance?
Absolutely! You can slice and season the potatoes, then cover and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. This allows the flavors to meld nicely. When you're ready to bake, simply add a few extra minutes to the cooking time, as they will be starting from a colder temperature.
