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.
