Ingredients

• 2 1/4 pounds red bliss potatoes peeled and cubed
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small onion chopped
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 cup sherry wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, toss the cubed potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper until they’re evenly coated.

Spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they’re tender and lightly browned.

While the potatoes are roasting, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

In a small bowl, whisk together the sherry wine, chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and dried thyme.

Pour the mixture over the cooked onion and garlic in the skillet, and bring to a simmer.

Let cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

Remove the roasted potatoes from the oven and toss them with the sauce from the skillet until they’re well coated.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Use high-quality sherry wine for the best flavor. Don’t skip the thyme – it adds a lot of depth to the dish.

If you don’t have Dijon mustard, you can substitute with regular mustard, but the flavor will be slightly different.

Cutting the potatoes into similar-sized cubes ensures even roasting. Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet – cook in batches if necessary.

The sauce can be made ahead of time and refrigerated or frozen for later use.

You can adjust the amount of garlic to your taste. This recipe makes 7 servings, perfect for a dinner party or holiday meal.
