A home cook has sent foodies into a frenzy with his game-changing roast potato recipe that requires just two main ingredients—and the results are nothing short of spectacular.
Justin Taylor, a cooking enthusiast, took to Facebook to share his honey and mustard roasties, posting a snap of his golden, crispy potatoes alongside a step-by-step guide. The internet went wild, with one eager fan exclaiming:
“My mouth’s watering just reading this! Can’t wait to try them!”
The Secret Ingredients:
✅ Colman’s English mustard
✅ Squeezy honey
How to Make the Viral Roasties:
1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and chop white potatoes, then season with salt and black pepper.
2️⃣ Make the Coating: Mix two teaspoons of mustard with four teaspoons of honey until smooth.
3️⃣ Heat the Roasting Tray: Preheat an oven-proof tray with oil, then melt in a couple of tablespoons of butter.
4️⃣ Roast to Perfection: Toss the potatoes in the hot tray, coat them generously with the honey-mustard mix, and roast until crispy.
5️⃣ Glaze for Extra Crunch: In the final 20 minutes, re-glaze the potatoes with the mixture every five minutes for deeper flavour and extra crispiness.
The Express reported that Justin’s method results in a perfect balance of crunch and caramelisation, leaving diners craving more.
Meanwhile, top chef Marc Williams from The Grand Hotel in York weighed in on the biggest mistake people make when cooking roast potatoes.
“To get the perfect potatoes, peel them, add them to cold water, and bring to a boil,” he revealed. “Boil for around six minutes until the edges soften. Then, strain and let them cool completely before roasting. If they’re full of water, they’ll never crisp up!”
Justin’s viral recipe has home cooks racing to their kitchens, eager to master the crunchiest, most flavourful roasties ever. Will you be giving them a try this weekend?
