A simple and comforting side dish featuring crispy roasted fingerling potatoes infused with fresh rosemary and garlic. Perfect for family dinners, gatherings, and potlucks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash 1.5 pounds of fingerling potatoes thoroughly and halve each potato lengthwise.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon sea salt, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and optional 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add the halved potatoes to the bowl and toss gently but thoroughly until every potato is coated in the rosemary-garlic oil mixture.
  5. Spread the potatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they have space to roast properly.
  6. Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes. At the 15-minute mark, use tongs or a spatula to gently flip the potatoes for even crispiness.
  7. Check for doneness by piercing with a fork; potatoes should be golden brown and crispy on the outside with tender insides.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before tossing with oil to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. If garlic browns too quickly, move it to the side of the pan during roasting. Let potatoes rest after roasting to firm up the exterior.
