Ingredients
- FINGERLING POTATOES can come in various colors and sizes, just about all of them will work for this recipe. If your potatoes are on the larger side, feel free to halve them.
- ROSEMARY is herbaceous and slightly floral; it can be replaced with fresh thyme oregano, or even sage.
- GARLIC needs no explanation here. Am I right?
- PAPRIKA is smoky and slightly sweet, while also adding a beautiful orange-red color. hili powder can be used as a fun variation.
- KOSHER SALT + BLACK PEPPER should always be added to taste.
- CAYENNE PEPPER adds a bit of heat to the mix. Reduce or increase the measurement to fit your own tolerance.
- WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE is sort of sweet and sour. If you don’t have it around, try a bit of soy sauce. Weird, I know, but it works!
- EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL is fragrant and almost buttery. Canola, vegetable, and canola oil are the most suitable replacements.
How to Make Fingerling Potatoes
Whether you’re putting together a spread or just trying to whip up a quick weeknight side, this recipe is your best friend. You don’t need to set aside lots of time or go pantry-hunting for crazy ingredients. Just 5 minutes of prep and some hands-off cooking time and you’re golden!
Before cooking the potatoes, be sure to toss them super well. You want that spiced garlic herb mixture to fully coat each potato. Toss the potatoes a couple times while baking to ensure that they’re evenly cooked. Serve your seasoned spuds while they’re piping hot!
Leftover Storage and Reheating
Any leftovers should be kept in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Roasted fingerling potatoes can be reheated in a conventional or toaster oven set at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can reheat your desired portion in the microwave (in 30 second increments) until heated through.
