Ingredients:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instruction:
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 10-second bursts, stirring between each burst, until the butter is fully melted, 30 to 40 seconds total.
- Prep the following, adding them to the bowl of melted butter: Cut 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise. Mince 3 cloves garlic. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine, making sure the potatoes are evenly coated. Transfer to the baking sheet and arrange in a single layer cut-side down.
- Roast until the potatoes are tender enough to easily be pierced with a fork, golden brown, and starting to shrivel slightly, flipping halfway through, 25 to 30 minutes total. Meanwhile, finely chop until you have 2 tablespoons fresh parsley leaves.
- Taste and season the potatoes with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with the parsley.
How to Make Crispy Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
FAQ
How does Gordon Ramsay cook fingerling potatoes?
Fingerling potatoes are small, stubby, long potatoes, which can be one of a variety of heirloom potato cultivars. These potatoes should not be confused with new potatoes- they are bred to be small and long when full mature.
What is different about fingerling potatoes?
Boiling your potatoes for a little bit before roasting helps make sure that you get that beautiful crisp crust on the outside. If you don’t parboil your spuds, the outside skin will remain quite tough, meaning that whatever fat you use will not be able to get inside the cracks.
Should I boil potatoes before roasting?
Do not peel! Fingerling potatoes have thin skins that are easy to eat. Potatoes cook faster when cutting in half, and have more surface area for a crunchy texture. Add in seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic, onion powder, paprika, or cumin for flavor.
