Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and dry the baby potatoes thoroughly.
  2. Arrange the baby potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until golden and fork-tender.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped shallots for 3-4 minutes, then add minced garlic and sauté for 1 more minute.
  5. Pour in broth, bring to a simmer, and whisk in Dijon and grainy mustard with salt and pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and bring back to a gentle simmer. Mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then whisk into the sauce until thickened.
  7. Squeeze lemon juice into the sauce, adjusting seasoning to taste. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon.
