Simple roasted fingerling potatoes are tossed with fresh rosemary and olive oil.

Serves
4
Active Time
5 mins
Total Time
30 mins

Step 1: Preparing the Potatoes

Preparing the Potatoes
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt (to taste)
  • freshly ground pepper (to taste)

To start the potatoes, first preheat the oven to 400° degrees Fahrenheit (200° C).

Wash and dry the potatoes*. Remove the leaves from the rosemary and finely chop. Drizzle the potatoes with the olive oil and then add the rosemary. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.

Step 2: Roasting the Potatoes

Roasting the Potatoes
  • sour cream (optional)

To bake the potatoes, line a tray with aluminum foil. Pour the potatoes onto the tray and shake it to lay them flat. Place into the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Check the potatoes by inserting a knife into the thickest part. It should slide out easily. Turn the potatoes over and place back into the oven for another 5 to 10 minutes or until fully cooked through and golden. Place into a serving dish, season with a bit more freshly cracked pepper and serve with sour cream, if desired.

Notes

*Small new potatoes can be substituted for fingerlings.

Re: What are Fingerling Potatoes

Fingerling potatoes are special heritage potatoes that naturally grow small and narrow. Unlike small new potatoes, fingerling potatoes are fully mature when harvested, which contributes to their rich (some say buttery) and complex taste. There are several varieties of fingerling potatoes available, if you cannot find fingerling potatoes you can substitute with small new potatoes.

For more information here is a link to What are Fingerling Potatoes - from Wisegeeks.

Charlottes

Thanks for your help. We have one over here called Charlotte which may be similar as it tends to be long and thin.

To peel or not to peel that is the question

I made this recipe and peeled the potatoes. I am not sure that peeling is necessary. HELP

Re: Peeling the Potatoes

Peeling is really a personal choice. These potatoes are very delicate and the skin is tender and flavorful, which is why we did not peel them in this recipe.

delicious!

I roasted some new potatoes for dinner this evening. They were absolutely delicious! It's difficult to find fresh herbs,such as sage, tarragon, rosemary and thyme, in south east asia countries (or perhaps I haven't search hard enough!). Hence, I used dried mixed herbs in a bottle instead. Nevertheless, my potatoes turned out well! Thanks for the recipe! :)
