Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
After sharing my roasted purple potatoes recipe a few weeks back, I was interested in trying some other varieties or potatoes that weren’t the run of the mill russet potatoes. One of my favorites that I came across was the fingerling potato, an elegant jewel-toned beauty that tasted amazing with any combination of spices on it. While they are simple to prepare and cook, they look really extraordinary in comparison to some other types of potatoes.
Roasted fingerling potatoes can be served as part of a holiday meal or as a weeknight dinner in just about 30 minutes. If you need to reheat them, place them in the oven at 400 for about 10 minutes or until they are warm throughout.
