I love how easy this recipe is and so few ingredients too. Would fingerling potatoes work here?
Yes! I think they would be great for this!

I made these along w/roasted onions & multi-colored mini peppers
. Cannot get over how delicious they were. Was in the UK last October w/my UK /American friend, stayed @ her flat & went for a traditional Sunday roast @ a gorgeous pub. She was anxious for me to try the roasted potato’s which were great & mine tonite were just as/or better. My husband loved them. Will certainly make again. So easy as well as tasty.
So glad you liked them so much! Thank you for taking the time to come back tell me.

On a side note, I work for Meals on Wheels and I know we are always looking for volunteers to help us deliver meals locally to seniors in need. It would be a great activity to do with the family throughout the year. For my local chapter, we deliver Monday through Friday between 11-1. Off for the holidays, but there are plenty of days in between to get involved. You should look into it!
Merry Christmas everyone!

It sounds silly, but there really isn’t a better recipe for simple roasted baby potatoes. I really appreciated finding this recipe at the last minute – as I was cutting up the baby potatoes. I sprinkled a little dried rosemary over these and cooked alongside some bone-in chicken thighs for 1 hour at 350 degrees. They turned out perfect – and got me some accolades from the wife and kid. I’d always used oil before this – but this easier and simpler recipe is just straight-up better in every way.

We love roasted potatoes. They’re such an easy side dish to toss together quickly and they always taste so good! These go great with just about any main dish meat, but we especially like them with grilled steaks.

I really enjoyed the simple roasted potatoes recipe. We had it with baked chicken that had lemon, olive oil, and bits of tangerine around.
The two dishes complemented each other a lot. Thank You! Henrietta Lavengood, NJ
