Oven Baked Fingerling Potatoes
Description
This recipe features fingerling potatoes cut lengthwise and coated with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Roasting them in a hot oven first allows the cut sides to brown and crisp. After an initial bake, shredded Parmesan cheese is sprinkled on top, and the potatoes finish cooking to develop a golden crust enriched by the cheese.
The garlic and thyme infuse the potatoes with herbaceous notes while the Parmesan adds a sharp, savory finish. This cooking method creates potatoes that are crisp on the outside with a soft, creamy interior.
The potatoes can be served as a side dish to meats or vegetables, adding a flavorful alternative to mashed or roasted potatoes. For a quicker approach, they can also be cooked in an air fryer by following a similar seasoning and baking process.
Using fresh minced garlic rather than powdered enhances the aroma. Check doneness by piercing with a fork; potatoes should be easily pierced but not mushy.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes cut in half lengthwise
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon thyme or 2 sprigs fresh thyme, dried leaves
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine potatoes, oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss until evenly coated.
- Spread onto a baking sheet flat side down and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle parmesan cheese on top, return to the oven and cook for another 10-15 minutes or until potatoes are golden brown in color.
Notes
- To use an air fryer, preheat to 400°F and cook the seasoned potatoes for 7 minutes, then add Parmesan and cook for an additional 8 minutes for similar results.
- Ensure potatoes are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
