Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose small red potatoes for even cooking and a creamy texture. If you don't have lemon dill mustard dressing, a mixture of low-fat mustard and lemon juice can work as a substitute. To enhance the flavor, consider adding garlic powder or smoked paprika to the dressing. If you're looking to make this dish vegan, simply use a plant-based dressing.
Serving Suggestions
These roasted potatoes make a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or fish, especially when paired with recipes like Beef In A Skillet. You can also serve them alongside a fresh salad or A Whole Bunch Of Tangy Cole Slaw for a complete meal. For a vegetarian option, enjoy them with a chickpea salad.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. This will help maintain their texture and crispness.
