Crispy roasted fingerling potatoes tossed with a fresh herb gremolata made from garlic, parsley, and lemon zest and juice. This easy side dish is perfect for any occasion and delivers a satisfying crunch with bright, herbaceous flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (700 grams) fingerling potatoes
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. Wash and dry the fingerling potatoes thoroughly, leaving skins on.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 2 to 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes with tongs halfway through. Larger potatoes may need an extra 5 minutes.
  6. While potatoes roast, prepare the herb gremolata by combining minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  7. Once potatoes are done, transfer them back to the mixing bowl while still hot and toss immediately with the gremolata mixture.
  8. Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat potatoes completely dry before roasting to ensure crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Turn potatoes halfway through roasting for even browning. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning. Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
