By "sauce", do you mean the oil-spice-mustard mix? If so, consider the purpose for that mixture is twofold. The oil is there to help give the potatoes a crispy browned texture. Along with the relatively high heat (450*) it basically "fries" the surface of the potato without completely saturating it, like deep frying. Without oil, they will still cook but not as nicely. The other stuff is just for flavor which is entirely up to your preference. This flavor, another flavor, or no flavor.

I should add, it is crucial to use a baking sheet (saying this for owners of toaster ovens) otherwise you'll dry out the potato, and you'll feel like your eating plastic.

You get away with murder by using the peanut oil.

Technically, you are suppose to let the cut potato soak in water for 30-60 min.

The reason is cut potatoes are too starchy aka "dense"; the soaking transfers some of the starch to the water. Then you are suppose to dry them. Now combine peanut oil with lots of seasoning salt in a bowl and mix it up good. Make sure the oven is preheated to 450; you don't want to dry the potatoes by slow excessive cooking. 30-35min, then immediately take out.
