Tips & Substitutions
For perfectly glazed potatoes, ensure they are evenly coated in the honey mixture and turn them gently to avoid breaking. If you don't have honey on hand, maple syrup can be a delicious substitute. You could also use olive oil instead of butter for a lighter option. Adding fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme can enhance the flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These honey-glazed new potatoes make an excellent side dish for roasted meats or grilled vegetables. They pair beautifully with Cheese Apple Salad (Waldorf Salad With Cheese) for a refreshing contrast. Consider serving them alongside Buttermilk Buns to complete the meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out. Cover with a lid to steam them slightly and warm through until heated.
