Fingerling potatoes are a miniature potato with an oblong shape. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and have thin skin and a creamy texture.

Seasoning Variations
You can change up the seasonings in this recipe however you’d like — I love using salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoky paprika. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand and keep it as simple or as complex as you’d like. They’d also be very delicious seasoned simply with salt and pepper. Make sure to flip the potatoes halfway through roasting so that they cook evenly.
Nope! This easy potato recipe can be enjoyed with the skins on. They provide texture, nutrients, and get crispy. The best part is the time you save in not having to peel them like other other potato recipes!
In some recipes, like my smashed potatoes, I recommend boiling the potatoes before roasting them. In this recipe, boiling the potatoes first is not needed. They will fully cook in the oven.
