Oh man, these little fingerlings are finger lickin’ good!
Roasted Potatoes are just so warm and cozy, they are a perfect vegetable side dish for practically any meal. In this recipe for Roasted Fingerling Potatoes I took advantage of the fresh herbs that I have left in my little garden before the cold weather sets in and they are no longer readily available for me to pick. I will certianly miss that aspect of summer!
HERBS and SPICES
The herbs I had on hand were:
- Chives- Chives give the potatoes an aromatic, fresh delicate onion flavor.
- Rosemary- Lends a fragrant earthy with lemony and minty tones.
- Parsley- adds a bright freshness
- Thyme- a floral, lemony note- similar to rosemary but a little more mild.
My go to Spices for Roasted Potatoes are:
- Kosher salt- I prefer to use coarse salt in general, but especially when roasting because you can see the granules and they get a little crunch
- Black pepper- White pepper would work too, but I think black is more classic
- Garlic powder – For a little aromatic flavor. Make sure you are using garlic powder and not garlic salt! We don’t need a double dose of sodium
- Smoked Paprika – I love paprika on roasted potatoes! Its burnt orange color makes the olive oil beautiful, plus it provides a note of earthy, smokiness with just a tinge sweetness to balance out the salt. I prefer Hungarian Smoked Paprika, but regular will do too.
