What is Fingerling Potatoes?
Fingerling Potatoes are a variety of potatoes. They are small, finger-shaped potatoes that grow naturally this way and mature fully when harvested. These potatoes are the best to make roasted potatoes or any fast food potatoes. Their skin is thin, that doesn't need to be peeled. The skin of these potatoes tastes buttery and nutty, giving them a gorgeous crispy texture when roasted. Hence, if you find fingerling potatoes, you know you need to grab a bag of these for yourself.
Ingredients To Make Herbed Parmesan Fingerling Potatoes
- Olive Oil - I like to use olive oil in this recipe for its fruity nutty flavor. Adding oil to this recipe makes sure to give your potatoes that extra crispy texture. You can also use avocado oil or vegetable oil.
- Butter - Adding butter enhances the taste of these potatoes. Butter makes everything better. If you are vegan, use vegan butter instead.
- Herbs and Spices - I am using Italian Spice, Red Chili Flakes, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and salt. To make it Indian-ish you can add Achari Masala, Tandoori Masala or Curry Powder. These Spices will definitely take them up a notch.
- Cilantro - Now, if you think cilantro tastes like soap, you and I cannot be friends. I love cilantro and it brings so much freshness and earthy flavor to these roasted potatoes.
- Parmesan Cheese - You want to definitely grate fresh parmesan cheese at home, although storebought grated parmesan works too.
How to Cook These Fingerling Potatoes?
- Prep the Oven and Potatoes - Preheat the oven at 420F (215C). While the oven is preheating, Wash the Fingerling Potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry a clean using a hand towel. Cut the fingerling potatoes into two halves lengthwise. Next, melt the butter in the microwave or a skillet. Keep it aside. In a bowl, add the oil and melted butter, along with the spices and herbs. Add in your cut fingerling Potatoes. Mix well.
- Bake the Potatoes - Drizzle some oil on the baking tray, and grease it. Place the marinated potatoes flat-side down on the baking tray. Place it in the preheated oven for 30-35 mins. After 25 mins in the oven, take the potatoes out, quickly add the grated parmesan cheese and bake it for another 10 mins. Voila, serve it with Sriracha Mayo or Ranch and you are in for a treat.
How to Store the Fingerling Potatoes?
These Potatoes hold up well in the refrigerator for 3 days. Although I will really advise you to freeze them if you are not going finish the leftovers the next day. Freeze the potatoes once they are completely cool. To reheat these potatoes, place the potatoes on a greased baking tray. Cover them with Aluminum Foil. Bake them in a preheated oven at 400F (200C) for 15 to 20 Mins.
