Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes Use smaller potatoes for even cooking.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Extra virgin olive oil is recommended for flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground pepper adds more flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (like rosemary or thyme), chopped Experiment with other herbs as desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the fingerling potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the halved potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and your choice of fresh herbs. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet, making sure they’re not overcrowded.
Roasting
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through.
  2. Check for doneness when they are golden and crispy. Test a piece by piercing it with a fork; the insides should be soft.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, ensure proper spacing on the baking sheet and don't forget to flip the potatoes during roasting. Store leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
