Dijon mustard
2 tbsp
wholegrain mustard
1 tbsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking tray with foil, then place a sheet of parchment paper on top to prevent sticking.

If making the smashed potatoes, microwave the potatoes on high for about 10 minutes, or until tender when pierced with a knife.

Place the cooked potatoes on one side of the tray and gently press each one with a potato masher until about 2/3 inch thick. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter, then season with salt and pepper.

Fold up the foil edge between the potatoes and the chicken area to create a low barrier. This keeps the honey mustard sauce from running into the potatoes.

In a bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, wholegrain mustard, honey, minced garlic, cornstarch, salt, and pepper until smooth.
