Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds fingerling potatoes Choose firm, unblemished potatoes for best flavor and texture.
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best taste.
  • 1 cup finely chopped onion Yellow or white onions work well, adding sweetness and depth.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced; fresh garlic provides robust flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend of herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme.
  • 2 teaspoons salt Essential for bringing out the flavors.
  • ½ teaspoon pepper Freshly ground black pepper adds a hint of spice.

Equipment

  • Large Baking Sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to achieve a crispy exterior.
  2. Wash the fingerling potatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Halve larger potatoes lengthwise.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the washed potatoes, olive oil, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until well-coated.
  4. Grease the baking sheet with olive oil and spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer.
  5. Roast the potatoes in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, tossing halfway through for even browning.
  6. Check for doneness; they should be golden brown and tender. Roast longer if needed, checking every 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes for best results.
  • Try using shallots instead of onions for a sweeter taste.
