Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lb (1.36 kg) baby potatoes
- Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
- Kosher salt, as needed
- Black pepper, as needed
- 1 tbsp (14 g) butter
- 1 shallot, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup (250 ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 ½ tbsp (22 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) grainy mustard
- ¾ cup (175 ml) heavy cream
- 1 ½ tsp (3.5 g) cornstarch
- 2 tsp (10 ml) water
- 1 tsp (5 ml) lemon juice
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Place baby potatoes on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Toss to coat and spread into an even layer.
- Roast for 35–40 minutes, until tender and golden brown.
- Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium heat. Add butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Add diced shallot and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Carefully pour in the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Whisk in Dijon mustard, grainy mustard, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Simmer until reduced by about one-third.
- Stir in heavy cream and return to a gentle simmer.
- In a small bowl, combine cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Whisk into the sauce and cook until thickened, about 1 minute.
- Stir in lemon juice and adjust seasoning if needed.
- To serve, layer roasted potatoes in a bowl and spoon sauce over top. Sprinkle with fresh dill. Repeat layers until all potatoes and sauce are used.
Notes
- Cut larger baby potatoes in half for even roasting.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet or potatoes will steam instead of roast.
- If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of broth or cream.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat potatoes in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
- Substitute vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
