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. And they come in different colors!
Ingredients
- Fingerling potatoes – Use a variety of colors for the most beautiful and delicious dish.
- Olive oil
- Garlic – For a great aromatic flavor.
- Fresh rosemary and thyme – Or switch up the herbs.
- Salt and pepper
How to Make Perfect Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
- Preheat the oven to 400 F.
- 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.
- Roast: Roast for about 25 minutes until fork-tender.
