These simple roasted fingerling potatoes take less than 10 minutes of hands-on time, and are the perfect balance of tender insides and crispy outsides. All you need is a sheet pan! You can switch up the herbs as you like to go with whatever you are serving them with.

The average American eats somewhere around 140 pounds of potatoes a year or 365 potatoes per person — that’s an average of a potato a day. But only around a quarter of those potatoes are fresh (versus frozen, dehydrated, or in chip form). Let’s give that percentage a little bump up, shall we? This Herb Roasted Fingerling Potatoes recipe should help out nicely.

These herby potatoes are delicious on their own, but you might also consider a dipping sauce, like Easiest Herb Dip Ever, Arugula Basil Dipping Sauce, or Creamy Mustard-Oregano Sauce.

What Are Fingerling Potatoes?

Fingerling potatoes are small, slim, stubby potatoes — finger-shaped, as it happens. They have thin skins and cook up quickly, especially if you slice them in half, so when time is a factor, they are just the ticket. Besides being cute and delicious and all of that.

Ingredients

  • Fingerling potatoes – Use a variety of colors for the most beautiful and delicious dish.
  • Olive oil – For roasting.
  • Garlic – For a great aromatic flavor.
  • Fresh rosemary and thyme – For herbaceous and earthy flavors.
  • Salt and pepper – To taste.

How to Make Herb-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400 F degrees.
  2. Prepare the potatoes: Cut the fingerling potatoes in half and place them on the prepared baking sheet (use parchment paper for easier clean up). Drizzle with the oil, sprinkle over the garlic, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, toss, and spread them out in a single layer.
  3. Roast: Roast for about 25 minutes until fork tender.

    Have one oven. Can these be roasted at 350 degrees and for how long?

      You can bake them at 350 for about 30 to 35 minutes!
