Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a splash of heavy cream to the mixture after adding mustard. You can substitute yellow mustard with Dijon or whole grain mustard for a different flavor profile. If you're looking for a lighter option, use olive oil instead of butter. This dish also works well with Yukon Gold potatoes for a buttery taste. For a bit of crunch, try adding chopped green onions.
Serving Suggestions
These mustard potatoes are a delightful side dish that pairs beautifully with grilled meats or roasted vegetables. They complement dishes like Breaded Steak or serve them alongside a refreshing Herb Potato Salad for a balanced meal. Garnish with additional parsley or chives for a pop of color. Enjoy them warm for the best flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the potatoes in a microwave-safe dish and cover with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Heat in short intervals, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes.
