The humble potato can be good for so many recipes. Bash it, mash it, boil it, foil it -see what I did there. It’s probably the one ingredient that would make every Chopped contestant so very happy.
I love potatoes no matter how they’re prepared, and It’s a sure fire bet that I’ll be having some outrageously creamy, buttery mash when Thanksgiving comes along soon. These little fingerling potatoes are best served roasted in a hot oven until they become shriveled and crispy on the outside, but perfectly soft in the middle. Rosemary is always a great herb to add flavor, and It’s the only thing I can grow in my garden without tending to it in any way whatsoever. You could also use sage, thyme or oregano.
Did I mention how simple these tiny roast fingerling potatoes are to make. Just a few ingredients tossed in a bowl (literally) and dumped onto a baking sheet. Bake in the oven at a fairly high heat and fill your house with a smell that even the kids will approve. My daughter even asked for seconds at dinner and she’s turning a little picky at age 9 (rolls eyes), and my little guy automatically gets seconds because, well…he just eats like a bear.

Potato perfection, love these!
Thanks Laura!!
I laughed at “eats like a bear.” My son does, too. He is 12, and I cannot even imagine how much food I will need to buy and prepare when he is a full-fledged teenager!
Anything with potatoes is a done deal in my book.
Mmmm, these potatoes look good. I make something similar with different herbs and whole garlic cloves. Happy Friday!
Thanks Brandon ;)
I am more of a roasted potato kind of girl as opposed to mashed. So I LOVE these. And rosemary with potatoes = perfection.
I love potatoes prepared any which way! These look perfectly delicious!
I just bought a bag of fingerling potatos last night @ Traders Joes. I making this recipe this weekend.
Think these are going on the list for the Christmas prime rib menu. Flawless just like a perfect roast – not complicated, just perfectly executed. Great post! Stumbled and pinned it.
Yummm..prime rib roast! I can’t wait for that. Thanks Chris.
