Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spray a roasting pan three times with light vegetable oil cooking spray to coat.

- Whisk to blend.
- Prick the baby red potatoes several times with the tines of a fork and add them to the bowl.
- Toss to coat the potatoes evenly with the mustard mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, increase the cayenne pepper or add a splash of hot sauce to the mustard mixture. If you don't have Dijon mustard, yellow mustard can be a suitable substitute, although the flavor will differ slightly. Ensure the potatoes are uniform in size for even cooking, and consider using an oil spray that adds flavor, such as olive oil spray.
Serving Suggestions
