Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 23 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary or thyme, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon lemon zest or 2 tablespoons grated parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Wash and dry the fingerling potatoes. Halve any larger ones lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
  3. In a bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25–35 minutes, or until potatoes are golden brown, crispy on the outside, and tender inside.
  6. Remove from oven and, if desired, sprinkle with lemon zest or parmesan before serving.

Notes

No need to peel fingerling potatoes — their thin skins become crispy and flavorful when roasted.For extra crispiness, make sure potatoes are fully dry before roasting.Try mixing in other vegetables like onions or carrots for variety.Best served fresh, but leftovers can be reheated in the oven or skillet to regain crispness.Customize with your favorite herbs or spices to match the main dish.
