Fingerling potatoes have a very soft skin and there's not need to peel them. The interior of the potato is soft and creamy.
Because fingerling potatoes are small, they don't take long to cook. They'll be ready in about 30 minutes! Perfect for getting dinner on the table.
These roasted potatoes are also delicious for breakfast served with a couple of over easy eggs.

This is such a simple, but classic side dish, Kathy! Seriously - this can go with almost any main course. Grilled chicken? Sure! Steak? Yup. Sandwich? Of course. A big plate of these as a main dish? Why not? 🙂 Thanks for sharing...although now I'm craving roasted potatoes, and it's only 8am here. Haha!
