Crispy Lemon-Garlic Fingerling Potatoes
Are all of your heads still swimming with pie hangover?
I think that’s one thing I didn’t have enough of.
Potatoes? I had plenty. We went to Idaho for Thanksgiving. I think it’s an unwritten Idaho law that a giant pile of (real) mashed potatoes be on every Thanksgiving table.
Something like this….
If it’s not a law, it should be.
Meanwhile, these crispy roasted fingerling potatoes keep me pretty happy the rest of the year. Even better if you can find the multi-colored ones. My girls got a kick out of eating pink and purple potatoes.
Plus, I love potatoes with lemon and garlic.
Crispy Lemon-Garlic Fingerling Potatoes
Yield: Serves 4-6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: About 50 minutes
Ingredients:
2 pounds fingerling potatoes
3 Tablespoons coconut oil, melted
3 teaspoons lemon zest
4 cloves garlic, peeled and (Microplane) grated/pressed
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepperDirections:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
Place melted coconut oil in a small bowl. Add lemon zest and garlic to the oil, and set aside while you prep the potatoes.
Half the fingerlings and quarter the larger ones. Place them on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the flavored oil over top, and using your hands, toss to coat evenly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for 30-40 minutes, checking on them a few times, and turning them with a spatula.
Serve immediately.

Confession: mashed potatoes aren’t my favorite. I would much rather have lemon and garlic on my potatoes. Love this!

Roasted potatoes are one of my favorite things ever. Beats sweets hands down. The only problem is that I always feel the need to eat a pound. By myself. Not so good…
These look delightful! Someone brought something similar to the Thanksgiving I went to and I ate most of them + turkey + my cake and that was it. Roasted potatoes… woohoo. :D
