1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

3. Roast the Potatoes:
- Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and tender, tossing halfway through for even cooking.
4. Make the Honey Mustard Glaze:

5. Coat the Potatoes:
- Once the potatoes are roasted and tender, remove them from the oven.
- Drizzle the honey mustard glaze over the roasted potatoes, tossing them gently to coat evenly.
6. Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer the coated potatoes to a serving dish.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and freshness.
