A simple and satisfying recipe for crispy roasted fingerling potatoes tossed with lemon juice, fresh herbs, and garlic, delivering a bright, herbaceous flavor and perfect crispy texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice of 1 large lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Zest of 1 large lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for finishing if desired
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: sprinkle of Parmesan cheese after roasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly, then slice them lengthwise into halves. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add the halved fingerling potatoes to the bowl and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the lemon herb mixture.
  5. Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes, then use a spatula or tongs to flip the potatoes to crisp the other side.
  7. Continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  8. Remove from oven and taste for seasoning. Add extra salt, pepper, or fresh lemon juice if desired. Optionally toss with chopped parsley or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Dry potatoes thoroughly before roasting to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Toss potatoes halfway through cooking for even browning. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to prevent burning. Fresh herbs are preferred over dried for best flavor; if using dried, reduce quantity to one-third. Optional additions include red pepper flakes for heat or Parmesan/vegan Parmesan for extra savory flavor.
