Roasted fingerling potatoes is the easiest side dish you will ever make! Season with fresh garlic and rosemary for simple, delicious flavor.
It’s incredible how such a simple combination of ingredients can deliver on such a big flavor!
Fresh spuds tossed with a little oil, minced garlic, and chopped fresh rosemary (plus salt and pepper!) are the perfect addition to any meal.
Don’t feel like waiting? Cook them in the air fryer for perfectly crispy bites in a fraction of the time!
Corn on the cob tastes just as delicious when roasted since the natural sugars caramelize to perfection. In fact, I often toss some in the oven when I make this fingerling potato recipe!
Roasted Fingerling Potatoes - Tips and Tricks
- Don’t forget to rinse! Run the spuds under cool water, rubbing away any dirt spots with your fingers. Pat dry completely with paper towels before tossing with the oil and seasonings.
- Use dried herbs. If fresh isn’t available, dried rosemary works just as well. Reduce the amount to 2 teaspoons since the flavor is more potent.
- Time-saving tip: Roasted fingerling potatoes will cook faster if you slice them in half lengthwise first. Start checking around the 30 minute mark - they’re done when they are fork tender and crispy around the edges.
- Not a fan of rosemary? Parsley, thyme, or even Italian seasoning is just as delicious!
- Add some cheese! Once the veggies are cooked, sprinkle some freshly grated Parmesan over the top before serving.

FAQ - Common Recipe Questions
Do I need to scrub fingerling potatoes?
Since the skins are thin and delicate, a simple rinse will do. You can certainly use a vegetable brush if you’d like. Just be gentle so you don’t scrub the skin right off!

Will the garlic burn in the oven?
Whole cloves would probably blacken, but I find that minced garlic holds up just fine - even despite the high temperature.

How do you reheat roasted fingerling potatoes?
Leftovers are just as delicious (sometimes better!) so be sure to save any you may have. Place them back in an oven-safe dish and warm for 10 to 15 minutes at 400°F.

they look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI get those same potatoes and your right everyone love them. Great recipe!
ReplyDelete400 for over an hour? I think of slow roasting as 250-300. I would think the garlic would be black at the higher temp.
ReplyDeleteActually the garlic holds up perfectly. Perhaps the moisture from the potatoes and the olive oil. Feel free to try them at a lower temp and increase the cook time. Enjoy!
DeleteI absolutely love roasted vegetables but have never used fingerling potatoes. I might just have to pick some up at the next Costco visit. This recipe is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLet us know how it goes. Enjoy!
