Garlic Herb Fingerling Potatoes (Printable)
Golden fingerling potatoes coated with garlic and herbs, roasted to crispy perfection.
# What You Need:
→ Potatoes
01 - 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
→ Herbs & Aromatics
02 - 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
05 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
→ Seasoning & Oils
06 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
03 - Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, placing them cut side down to enhance crispiness.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning, until golden and tender.
05 - Remove potatoes from the oven and immediately toss with the chopped fresh parsley to infuse bright herbal notes.
06 - Present warm as a flavorful side to complement roasted meats or grilled vegetables.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- They come together in under 45 minutes with minimal effort, leaving you time to handle the actual main course.
- The cut side gets gloriously crispy while the inside stays buttery and tender, giving you two textures in every bite.
- Fresh herbs make them taste intentional without requiring any advanced cooking skills.
02 -
- Don't skip the flip halfway through—the side that doesn't touch the pan needs direct oven heat to brown properly, and you want both sides golden.
- Adding fresh herbs at the end instead of the beginning preserves their brightness and prevents them from turning dark and bitter in the oven.
03 -
- For extra depth, grate some Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes just before serving; it melts slightly and adds a savory richness.
- If you notice the herbs or garlic browning too quickly, the oven temperature might be off—rotate your pan or lower the heat by 25°F and add a few minutes to roasting time.
