Fingerling potatoes – These small versions of potatoes have a buttery, mild flavor and their thin, edible skin makes them perfect for roasting
Duck fat or tallow – This secret ingredient makes the roasted fingerling potatoes basically a better version of themselves. Rich and flavorful, it upgrades your potatoes in a major way.
How To Make It
Toss the sliced fingerling potatoes in the duck fat or tallow and salt. Place them with the cut side down on a baking sheet.
Roast the potatoes, then flip them over and let them cook for a few more minutes.
Chef’s Tips
- Obviously, this recipe is NOT vegan or vegetarian if you use duck fat. You can substitute it with oil if you’d rather this recipe be totally vegan!
- Fingerling potatoes shouldn’t be confused with new potatoes, although they’re both small. While new potatoes are immature potatoes, fingerling potatoes are fully mature. Fingerling potatoes taste similar to a fully grown regular potato, while new potatoes have a much milder flavor. You can use new potatoes if you can’t find fingerling, although they will taste a bit different!
