What Are Fingerling Potatoes?

Tips for the Best Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Preheat Your Baking Sheet

To get nice, crispy potatoes, you’ll have to preheat your baking sheet. Just place your baking sheet in the oven before you turn it on. Once your oven comes up to temperature, the baking sheet will be hot enough to add the potatoes. The trick is not to forget you’re dealing with a hot pan, so keep an oven mitt at the ready for when it’s time to slide everything back in the oven.

Don’t Crowd the Pan

Roast in a Hot Oven

We roast our potatoes in a 450°F oven. That’s pretty hot but necessary for crispy skin. Preheating that pan jump-starts the cooking process. That combined with the potatoes' thin shape allows the potatoes just enough time to get a golden brown sear on the outside with a tender, buttery flesh on the inside. Lower oven temperatures take longer to cook and can dry out the potatoes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
