Baked Potatoes with Mustard

 Ingredients: 1 kg of potatoes, 1 tablespoon of oil, 2 tablespoons of mustard, 3 cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, salt

To prepare a delicious baked potato recipe, start by peeling the potatoes. Choose fresh, quality potatoes that are firm and have a good texture. If the potatoes are large, cut them in half or even quarters to ensure even cooking. Place them in a pot with cold water and add a teaspoon of salt. Bringing the water to a boil, let the potatoes cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly soft but not fully cooked. This will help achieve a perfect texture, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

Meanwhile, prepare a flavorful sauce that will transform these simple potatoes into something truly special. In a small bowl, mix olive oil with Dijon mustard, adding crushed garlic for an intense flavor. You can use a blender or a mortar to crush the garlic, allowing the flavors to release better. Add dried oregano for a Mediterranean aroma, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix all the ingredients well until you get a smooth and delicious sauce.

After the potatoes have boiled, drain them well and let them cool for a few minutes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the potatoes on the prepared tray and pour the flavorful sauce over them, gently tossing to ensure each piece is well coated.

Put the tray in the oven and let them bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. You can turn them halfway through the cooking time for even browning. The aroma that will spread throughout the house will be irresistible! Finally, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. These baked potatoes are perfect as a side dish to a juicy steak or can be enjoyed on their own alongside a fresh salad. Enjoy your meal!
