Ingredients
- 4 cups fingerling potatoes, halved or quartered if large
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried rosemary (or 1 tbsp fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. In a large bowl, combine the prepared fingerling potatoes with the extra virgin olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- 2
Add the dried rosemary, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to the bowl with the potatoes. Toss everything together thoroughly to distribute the seasonings evenly. The aroma of the herbs and garlic should start to become noticeable.
- 3
Spread the seasoned fingerling potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will steam the potatoes instead of roasting them, preventing them from getting crispy. Ensure there's some space between each potato piece.
- 4
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, carefully flip the potatoes with a spatula to ensure even browning and crisping on all sides. They should be golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
- 5
Once the fingerling potatoes are perfectly roasted and have a delightful crispy exterior, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let them cool slightly for a minute or two before serving. These potatoes are best enjoyed hot, showcasing their tender interior and savory flavor.

Tips & Notes
- If substituting olive oil for butter, use about 3/4 the amount (olive oil is 100% fat, butter is ~80%).
- Press or mince garlic rather than slicing for a more pungent flavor; slice for a milder taste.
- Dress salads just before serving to keep the greens crisp; keep dressing separate if making ahead.
