- Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle some grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes before roasting.

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS?
Though I think it’s a delicious recipe as is, you can definitely make some subs.
That’s the best part of home cooking!
- Rosemary: Substitute with thyme or sage for a different herb flavor.
- Olive Oil: Use avocado oil or melted butter instead.
- Kosher Salt: Sea salt or Himalayan pink salt can be used in place of kosher salt.
- Fingerling Potatoes: Baby potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes can be used if you don’t have fingerlings.
- Black Pepper: White pepper or red pepper flakes can be used for a different spice profile.
- Fresh Herbs: Dried rosemary can be used if fresh is not available; just use half the amount.
HOW TO STORE:
Refrigerator: Store any leftover golden brown potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven, skillet, or air fryer to keep them crispy.
Freezer: While enjoying these potatoes fresh is best, you can freeze them if needed.
Place the cooled potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid.
Then, transfer to a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven from frozen.
DANA’S TIPS AND TRICKS:
- Uniform Size: Cut the potatoes into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat the Oven: Make sure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F before roasting for the best results.
- Single Layer: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even roasting.
- Turn Halfway: Turn the potatoes halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh rosemary gives the best flavor, but if you use dried, remember to use less.
- Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the salt and pepper; they help bring out the flavors of the potatoes and rosemary.
Roasted Fingerlings are a delicious and easy side dish that any potato lover will want to make again and again.
The combination of crispy potatoes, fresh rosemary, and olive oil is simply irresistible!
