Ingredients

1 lb mixed baby or fingerling potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives, for garnish

Directions

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add baby potatoes and par-boil until fork-tender, about 8–10 minutes. Drain well.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the potatoes until the skin becomes golden and crispy. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, chicken broth, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well and cook over medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and forms a sticky glaze, about 2–3 minutes.
Return the potatoes to the pan and toss to coat evenly with the honey mustard glaze.
Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
