Ingredients You’ll Need to Make Roast Fingerling Potatoes
- Fingerling Potatoes: These are the main ingredient boos. They come in various colors and sizes and just about all of them will work for this recipe. If your potatoes are a little big, feel free to halve them y’all.
- Rosemary: With its herbaceous and floral notes, it adds earthy essence to the mix.
- Garlic: Minced, to add that aromatic pungent flavor.
- Paprika: It adds some smoky and slightly sweet essence as well as vibrant color.
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper: Gotta add both to get that flavor poppin.
- Cayenne Pepper: We add just a little to mix in some heat. Reduce or increase the measurement to fit your own tolerance.
- Worcestershire Sauce: This gives us that tangy, umami kick.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I love the fragrance of it. It gives our potatoes that nice crispy exterior.

Recipe Substitutions
- Fingerling Potatoes: You can easily swap in another super small potato like a baby red potato or cut up Yukon golds.
- Rosemary: It can be replaced with fresh thyme oregano, or even sage.
- Worcestershire Sauce: If you don’t have it around, try a bit of soy sauce.
- Garlic: Garlic powder can be a backup, but fresh is best boos.
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Canola, vegetable, and canola oil are the best replacements here.
Recipe Variations and Additions
- Cheese It Up: Just a sprinkle of parmesan or goat cheese on top after baking adds some salty creaminess for a textural switch up.
- Add Citrus: Add just a pop of lime or lemon zest to the herb mixture to brighten it up.
- Spice It Up: Want a kick? Toss in a little cayenne or red pepper flakes.
- Add a Dip: Serve the potatoes up as an appetizer and make this remoulade sauce or horseradish sauce to dip them into.
Expert Tips and Tricks
- Go Fresh: If you can, go with fresh herbs versus dried herbs for the best quality flavor.
- Scrub A Dub: Since we are keeping those skins on, make sure you scrub the skins under cold water to get rid of that dirt boos.
- Dry Them: Make sure your potatoes are super dry after you wash the skins so they get crispy on the outside.
- Toss It Up: I like to toss twice while cooking so they are getting evenly browned.
How to Store Baked Fingerling Potatoes
Make sure they are cooled completely. Then pop any leftovers into an airtight container and store in the fridge.
Baked fingerling potatoes can be reheated in a conventional or toaster oven set at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. The air fryer works great too! I don’t recommend using a microwave since you won’t get that nice crispy exterior but you can use it in a pinch if you need to.
How long will this baked potato recipe last in the fridge?
They should last for up to 3-4 days.
Can I freeze them?
Absolutely boos! Once they are cooled completely, spread them out on a parchment lined baking sheet and pop in the freezer for an hour to flash freeze them. Once solid, you can add them all to a freezer bag without worrying them will stick together. Make sure you remove all the air you can and label with the date. They should keep for about 3 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
We are looking for the potatoes to be super tender. If you can pierce the inside of one easily with a fork, it’s all good boos.
Absolutely boos. It’s a nice time saver too if you want to meal prep ahead. Just roast them up to 2 days before you want to serve them and pop in the fridge. Then reheat with the instructions above.
In order to get the nice crispy exterior, we need to crank up the heat to at least 400°F.
