Ingredients for Baby Potatoes In Mustard Sauce

  • 1 lb baby potatoes, scrubbed
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons cake flour
  • Cold Water
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • Dijon Mustard

How to Make Baby Potatoes In Mustard Sauce

  1. Scrub baby potatoes thoroughly and boil in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  2. While potatoes cook, prepare the sauce: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in cake flour until smooth and combined. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Gradually whisk in water, stirring constantly until a smooth sauce forms and comes to a simmer.
  5. Stir in evaporated milk and Dijon mustard. Season with salt to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
  6. Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, gently peel them. Add peeled potatoes to the mustard sauce. Gently toss to coat.
  7. Heat through for a few minutes, ensuring potatoes are warmed and the sauce is well incorporated.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy! Garnish with fresh herbs (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
