Simple and flavorful 30 minute side dish completes any main meal.
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Mmmm, creamy and delicious fingerling potatoes roasted to tenderness, then tossed with fresh grated parmesan cheese and parsley leaves.
This is one of those versatile potato dishes that go with almost any main course. When roasted, the potatoes turn incredibly smooth on the inside.
Serve all year long, but we especially love to eat these during the holiday season.
No peeling and boiling like a classic whipped potato recipe or special preparation needed, which makes fingerling potatoes a great dish when entertaining and serving multiple dishes.
Need a quick side dish to pair with ham, chicken, turkey as well as beef like this Oven Cooked Barbecue Brisket or Greek Flank Steak? These potatoes fit the bill!
What will I need to complete this recipe?
You will need the following ingredients:
- Fingerling potatoes or a mix of fingerling and baby potatoes.
- Olive oil – or any neutral tasking oil like avocado or canola.
- Kosher salt
- Pepper
- Parmesan cheese or Parmigiano-Reggiano – I like to grate my own to avoid additives like cellulose powder, which helps the shreds from clumping together.
- Parsley leaves
You will need the following tools:
- Large mixing bowl
- Baking sheet with a rim
- Small mixing bowl
- Utensils – spoons and spatula
What are fingerling potatoes?
Fingerling potatoes are small elongated tubers with thin skins.
There are several variety of fingerlings that range from a light yellow to a dark purple color. Each variety has a slightly rich different taste from buttery to a nutty flavor.
In the stores you will find that these are more expensive than regular potatoes and I have found that they get snatched up quick.
For this reason, I only was able to purchase 1 1/2 pounds of a mixed bag of fingerling potatoes.
To make this a full recipe, I added baby potatoes (also called new potatoes), which are potatoes that are harvested before fully mature.
These are also tender and buttery with thin skins, so combining fingerlings with new potatoes are a good match.
How to roast fingerling potatoes
Step 1 – Clean potatoes
To roast these potatoes you need to wash the potatoes and dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
Remove any blemishes or eyes and slice the fingerlings in half or 2 inch pieces.
You may also want to slice extra large baby potatoes if you are adding them to this recipe.
Wash and dry potatoes.
In a large bowl whisk together ingredients and fold potatoes in the oil mix.
Step 2 – whisk ingredients in a large bowl.
In a large mixing bowl whisk together the oil, salt and pepper. Add potatoes and gently stir folding the potatoes into the oil mix ensuring each one is coated.
Step 3 – Bake
Place oil coated potatoes on a greased baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes turning every 10 minutes.
Step 4 – Add Parmesan and parsley
Place cooked potatoes in a serving dish and toss Parmesan and parsley. Serve and enjoy right away.
Tip for holiday entertaining
This dish can be prepared up to 2 hours in advance through roasting the potatoes.
