Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mustard, olive oil, vodka, vermouth, horseradish, garlic, paprika, rosemary, salt, pepper, caraway seeds, cayenne and pepper flakes. Add the potatoes, and toss with your hands to coat. Dump the potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet, and spread them out in a single layer. Roast, tossing with a spatula a few times, until the potatoes are crusty on the outside and tender throughout, 50 to 55 minutes.
