Honey Roasted Red Potatoes

I made these for the first time for dinner last night. They were good, but could have had more flavor. I plan to make them again and double the sauce to pour over the potatoes.

After eating I asked Adam "What did you think of the potatoes?" His awesome reply "They were edible." Just what every wife wants to hear!! :-) ha ha

He suggested I add some seasoning salt or something. Maybe I'll go with the "Something" lol

Ingredients
1 pound red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper


Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat an 11x7 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place potatoes in a single layer in prepared dish, and top with onion. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, honey, mustard, salt and pepper; drizzle over potatoes and onion.
Bake in the preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 35 minutes or until tender, stirring halfway through the cooking time.
