Lemon Mustard Roasted Potatoes

Honestly, it does not matter what you coat these potatoes with, because like a lot of my other recipes, technique is key here. The aim is crispy, well-seasoned potato skins on the outside and a buttery, moist interior. The marinade requires oil, dried and/or fresh seasonings, lemon juice and a mustard base. Oh and of course, some butter! What the actual dried seasonings are is all up to you. I use spicy brown mustard for a little kick, oregano, lemon pepper, parsley flakes, black pepper, garlic and onion powder. I have a few different breakfast potato recipes, and I alternate the ingredients and flavors ever so slightly, and it does have profound impact on the taste profile. In another such recipe, I toss the small potatoes with fresh garlic, fresh rosemary, fresh parsley and lemon slices and those are fabulous as well. So really, it depends on what flavors you like or what you have readily available in your pantry and fridge. So toss away!
