Potatoes
- ~12 small potatoes
Sauce
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1-2 tablespoons honey
Seasonings
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes: Place the small potatoes in a pot of boiling water and cook for 20-30 minutes until they are fork tender and can be easily smashed.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the potatoes to a crispy finish.
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce: In a bowl, combine the avocado oil, mustard, and honey. Mix thoroughly until the sauce reaches a smooth consistency.
- Coat the Potatoes: Arrange the boiled potatoes on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the honey mustard sauce over each potato. Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder on top for seasoning.

Notes
- Boiling the potatoes until fork-tender ensures they smash easily without falling apart.
- Adjust the amount of honey in the sauce to suit your preferred sweetness level.
- Using a pastry brush helps to evenly distribute the honey mustard coating for better flavor and crispiness.
- Avocado oil is preferred for its high smoke point and mild flavor, but you can substitute with olive oil if desired.
- For extra crispiness, you can increase baking time slightly, but watch carefully to avoid burning.
