The Role of Mustard in Culinary Arts
Mustard, often relegated to the role of a mere condiment, is actually a versatile ingredient that can elevate a dish from ordinary to extraordinary. This recipe brings a depth of flavour that perfectly complements the earthy taste of potatoes, creating a unique and exciting taste profile.
Selecting the Perfect Potatoes
The secret to achieving the perfect roast potato starts with the right potato. You need a starchy variety to fluff up inside while maintaining a crispy exterior. Maris Piper or King Edward potatoes are excellent choices for this recipe.
Mastering the Art of Potato Roasting
Roasting potatoes is an art that turns the ordinary potato into a culinary masterpiece, great to serve on its own or as an accompaniment. The high roasting temperature is key to achieving that coveted crispy, golden exterior while keeping the inside soft and fluffy.
Recipe: Mustard Roast Potato
Ingredients
1.5 kg of potatoes, cut into halves or quarters for larger ones
30 ml of sunflower oil
50 grams of Flora butter
3 garlic cloves, gently crushed
30 ml of Colman's English mustard
A pinch of sea salt flakes
Method
Preparation: Heat your oven to 220°C (200°C for fan ovens, Gas Mark 6). Boil a pot of salted water, add the potatoes, and let them simmer for 8-10 minutes. Drain and let them dry in the colander, giving them a shake to roughen the edges.
Roasting: Pour sunflower oil over a large baking tray and heat it in the oven for 10 minutes. Then, carefully place the potatoes on the tray, adding the butter and garlic. Put in around two tablespoons of Colman's English mustard evenly and toss to coat the potatoes. Roast for 45 minutes, turning them halfway for even crispiness. Finish with a sprinkle of sea salt flakes.
