Dijon and Herb Roasted Potatoes

As I was thinking about what recipes I should try out over the next few weeks, I realized that I have very few side dish recipes. I had the idea for this recipe a while ago, but for some reason, I almost never work with potatoes. A goal of mine with this blog is to try out new things, so I thought this was the perfect dish to both cook with something new and boost my side dish recipes. I definitely like potatoes, but for whatever reason they were never cooked very much when I was growing up. However, after this dish, I think they will be making more of an appearance.

The herbs I used are ones that I personally enjoy. Feel free to switch it up however you like.
