How to Make Mustard Potato Poppers

Step 1: Cook the Potatoes

Add the baby gold potatoes and olive oil to a large sauté pan and cook over medium-high heat. Cover the pan and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, about 15-18 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the size of your potatoes.

Step 3: Garnish and Serve

Toss the potatoes in the glaze until evenly coated. Sprinkle with the minced chives and serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream for dipping.
