    Parmesan Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

    These easy and delicious parmesan fingerling potatoes, are oven-baked and topped with Parmesan and chives, for a great side for any meal.

    This potato dish is one of my favourite potato sides and I'm always very popular in my household when I cook them up. And when making them is super easy, it's really a no-brainer.

    There is not much to this dish, hardly a recipe really - just a technique and a few ingredients. The basic technique here is roasting the potatoes that have been tossed in olive oil, salt and pepper for 30 minutes and then removing from the oven and tossing in the Parmesan and returning to the oven for a few minutes to crisp up the Parmesan.

    I love these potatoes with chives, but chopped parsley or cilantro will do just fine, as well. I've also made them with a little chopped garlic. Or finished with a little freshly squeezed lemon. As you like it. I like to switch it up based on what I'm serving them with. Feel free to add more Parmesan, as well.

    I think the oblong fingerling potatoes are a nice change, and their long shape makes it nice and easy to grab when serving them in cups

    With the big game coming up this weekend, these crispy potatoes would be a great side for a feed of wings or burgers. To dress them up for entertaining, simply line small dishes or ramekins with parchment, and fill with potatoes. These are not greasy or sticky, so they're great to eat out of hand. No utensils needed.

    These potatoes are perfect for weeknight meals, or dress them up by serving in small cups/individual servings for a great snack or for the big game celebrations.

      These were wonderful. I added 1/8 tsp of Penzey's granulated garlic to the parmesan before adding to the potatoes instead of the minced garlic. I knew minced garlic wouldn't exactly suit our particular tastes. Well, my husband's particular taste. This worked beautifully, just a hint of garlic.

      Crispy potatoes are the best comfort food. When they are fingerling potatoes and covered in Parmesan they are also elegant and tasty. I could probably make an entire meal out of these.

      Oh, these potatoes speak to my soul, Jennifer! They look perfect--perfectly crispy bite sized pieces of awesome. I could probably eat the whole batch (though I will try to refrain myself :).

        They are perfect little potatoes. Crisp up nicely on the outside and creamy on the inside.
