Step-by-Step Instructions

Par-Boil the Potatoes

Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the baby potatoes and cook them until tender but still firm — about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool slightly. This keeps the potatoes creamy inside while crisping up outside later.

Sauté Until Golden

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet. Once hot, sauté the potatoes until golden brown and slightly crispy, about 5–7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Make the Honey Mustard Glaze

In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the remaining olive oil. Whisk in Dijon mustard, honey, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes until it thickens into a glaze.

Combine and Finish

Return the potatoes to the skillet and toss them in the glaze until coated. Cook together another 1–2 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped chives, and serve warm.
