What do I need to make Roasted Fingerling Potatoes?
One of the best parts of this recipe is the fact that it’s made entirely with kitchen staples that you probably already have on hand! If you do need to go to the store, don’t worry – your shopping list is nice and short.
- Butter – I prefer using unsalted butter to avoid a lot of sodium.
- Olive Oil – You can use avocado oil instead if you’d like.
- Seasonings – A simple mix of garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper is all you’ll need to add subtle, yet delicious flavor to the potatoes.
- Parmesan Cheese – Freshly grated parmesan cheese always yields the best flavor.
- Fingerling Potatoes – Any color of potatoes will work just fine in this easy recipe.
- Parsley – Fresh parsley is an optional garnish. I like to add it for a pop of color and the light herbaceous aroma it provides.
How long will Roasted Fingerling Potatoes stay fresh?
Once the potatoes have fully cooled to room temperature, transfer them to an airtight container and pop them in the fridge. Properly stored, your leftovers should stay fresh for about 3-4 days. Feel free to reheat them either in the microwave or right back in the oven until warmed through.
