Instructions

Roast Potatoes: Add potatoes and olive oil to a large skillet or Dutch oven. Cook over medium-high heat, covered, for 15-18 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to ensure even cooking, until potatoes are easily pierced with a knife.
Add Flavorings: Add butter, minced garlic, and crushed chili flakes to the pan. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to release aromas and infuse flavors.
Glaze and Season: Remove the pan from heat. Stir in whole grain mustard, honey, and Dijon mustard until the potatoes are evenly coated. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
Garnish and Serve: Toss the potatoes with fresh minced chives. Serve immediately with a side of sour cream for dipping, if desired.

Notes

Use small baby gold potatoes for even cooking and the best texture.
Stir frequently during cooking to prevent sticking and ensure all potatoes are well sueded with flavor.
The honey balances the tangy mustards and spicy chili flakes nicely, adjust amounts to personal taste.
Sour cream is optional but adds a creamy, cooling contrast to the spicy glaze.
The dish is best served warm immediately after cooking.
