Perfect Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

First things first, let’s feast our eyes on what we’re about to create!

Ingredients

1 pound fingerling potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)
Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This is the temperature at which magic happens, folks!
Wash your fingerling potatoes and slice them in half lengthwise. They’re like little boats now, ready for an adventure.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary. Ensure every potato gets a nice coat – no potatoes should feel left out!
Spread the seasoned potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer. You don’t want them crowding each other; they’re not at a family reunion.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Give them a little shake halfway through to ensure all sides get roasted to perfection.
Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If you want to take it over the top, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese on while they’re still warm. Who can resist cheesy goodness?
Serve hot and watch them disappear faster than a magician at a magic show. Enjoy your perfect roasted fingerling potatoes!

There you have it—your new go-to side dish that will make everyone wonder if you secretly took culinary classes. These roasted fingerling potatoes are not just food; they’re an experience. Have fun roasting!
