Roasted Fingerling Potatoes are thin skinned and crispy on the outside, yet so creamy and smooth on the inside. They are smaller potatoes, so they cook quickly and are loaded with fresh seasonings that make these potatoes irresistible.

I absolutely love potatoes! I think they are the perfect companion to any meal. Whether it’s an Air Fryer Sweet Potato, some creamy Mashed Potatos, or just a regular old Baked Potato, I love them all equally. These fingerling potatoes are about to move to the top of your list.

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Roasted fingerling potatoes- if you’ve never had them, you are missing out on a next level potato experience. Are all potatoes created equally? Don’t even get me started on the different kinds of potatoes and their uses, I’ll be here all day! Let’s just say, I’m a potato connoisseur and I would never lead you astray when it comes to potato dishes. Potatoes are the perfect side dish, and these fingerling potatoes are at the top of the list for me. So what makes them so amazing?

Fingerling potatoes are different than roasted red potatoes. I would say the fingerling and red potato are pretty similar. Fingerlings are smaller than a russet (try those as an air fryer baked potato!) and have thin skins. They come in a variety of colors and their flavor is nutty and earthy. They are definitely worth tracking down because they really do taste amazing. You should be able to find them at your local grocery store with no problems!

Ingredients

Basically, all you need is fingerling potatoes and your choice of seasonings. I really recommend using this recipe because the flavors that I add come together for the perfect potato recipe. These potatoes are amazing served along with grilled bbq chicken or a delicious air fryer steak. You can eat them with pork or really any protein. They don’t even need a dipping sauce they are so moist and delicious! You can find the measurements below in the recipe card.

• Fingerling Potatoes: You should be able to find some in a bag at your local grocery store. They are kind of long and skinny.
• Olive Oil: This is to saute the onions and coat the potatoes.
• Onion: Sauteed onions do SO much for adding flavor to potatoes. It’s worth the extra step I promise!
• Garlic: Fresh garlic is next level on potatoes. You could add garlic powder if you wanted.
• Italian Seasoning: I like to make my own homemade blend because it just tastes so fresh.
• Salt and Pepper: Season to taste.

Fingerling Potato Recipe

I love how easy it is to make fingerling potato recipe. They are smaller so they don’t take too long to cook. You cut them in half which helps them cook evenly. It also makes them easy to coat in seasoning. You are going to love the crispy outside and creamy inside on these potatoes! Get ready for your new favorite side dish recipe.

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees fahrenheit and prepare a sheet pan by lining it with foil and spreading a thin layer of olive oil over it. Set aside.
2. Prep Potatoes: Cut all your potatoes in half lengthwise and place in a large bowl. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over high heat, add your onion and saute for 4-5 minutes, until they just begin to develop color. Add in your garlic and saute for another 1-2 minutes then remove from heat.
3. Add Seasonings: In a small bowl, mix your italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour your onion and garlic oil over your potatoes and pour your seasonings over everything. Toss to coat evenly.
4. Bake: Once potatoes are evenly coated, place them, cut side down, in your prepared sheet pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Once the potatoes are tender and golden, switch to broil, continue baking potatoes for 3-5 minutes to achieve a crispier exterior.
5. Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool a few minutes before serving. Enjoy fresh!
