2 pounds fingerling potatoes, cut into bite size pieces
3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
1 tablespoons extra light olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss to coat. Pour onto a baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes. Makes 5 to 6 servings.
When I was shopping at the grocery store last week, I spotted this bag of mixed fingerling potatoes. It contained red potatoes, Yukon gold potatoes, and purple potatoes. I love to try new food products, so I grabbed a bag.
Typically when I roast potatoes, I will just put the potatoes on the baking sheet and drizzle olive oil and seasoning, then toss them to coat. For this recipe, I wanted to make sure every potato was evenly seasoned, so I tossed them in a large bowl instead. It was an extra step, but each bit was perfectly seasoned, so for me it was worth it.
I loved the addition of the purple potato! It put a fun new twist to a good old standby recipe, without changing the flavor.

It's just SUCH a classic! I love fingerling potatoes...these colorful ones you have here are just great! I know they can be a bit more expensive but often it's worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to use these potatoes for awhile now. We don't always have them in the grocery store. Does the color affect the taste at all?
