Dijon-Roasted Potatoes (Weight Watchers)

applee's Note:

Found this recipe on the Weight Watchers website. It is a core recipe but can become flex by counting the points. I think these potatoes have a lot of flavor and are a great side dish. Even kids and husbands will enjoy! It's easy too! I also double the ingredients and use 6-8 potatoes to get a good amount out of this.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• Pam cooking spray (or other cooking spray)
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 -6 large potatoes (quartered, and cut into about equal sized pieces)

Directions:

1. As mentioned in the description, I usually double all the ingredients and use about 6 or so potatoes (depending on size). What I am looking for is to have enough coating of the ingredients to cover the potatoes and give them the full flavor. Please adjust the amount of potatoes to suit your tastes!
2. Preheat oven to 425°F.
3. Coat a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or a cookie sheet with cooking spray.
4. Whisk together oil, mustard, paprika, thyme, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
5. Chop up potatoes and add them to the bowl with the whisked ingredients. Stir to coat the potatoes.
6. Transfer potatoes to the baking dish or cookie sheet and roast for about 15 minutes. Stir and continue to roast 15 minutes more.
7. What I do is roast the potatoes until they are pretty browned and toasted. I check to see if they are cooked through by piercing them with a fork. If the fork is not going through easily, they need more time. I will also add a piece of Aluminum Foil to the top of the potatoes, turn the oven down to 400 F and continue to roast. The foil will allow the potatoes to get tender in the inside and cook all the way through without burning them.
8. Take out of the oven and cool slightly so that you don't burn your mouth when eating! Also good with some ketchup added to the side!

Very nice flavor, and easy... although my potatoes took quite a bit longer than the stated time to get tender. I also doubled the seasonings, which I agree is the smart choice as it really boosted the flavor. :) Thanks for a great addition to my collection!

I love this recipe. It's easy to half too since there are only 2 of us. I took your advice and doubled the ingredients except I only used 5 small potatoes. I had to cook for a little longer than the 30 minutes. I turned the over down to 400 but didn't cover them. They still turned out fine. Thanks for a great recipe!

These were very good! I seasoned the wedges very well with extra seasonings and added onion and garlic powders. Dipped them down in ketchup and they were perfect! I made these with WW Barbecue Meatloaf and they paired great together. Made up a salad on the side and you have a full complete meal for not many points at all. (4 points a sev. for these and 4 points a serv. for the meatloaf) I only cut up 3 large potatoes and it was plenty for the two of us. Thanks for pointing out this great WW recipe. While on WW Im sure I will make again.
