Roasted Fingerling Snacking Potatoes

Roasted Fingerling Snacking Potatoes

Snacking Potatoes are a delicious crispy snack or side dish. Roasted with sea salt, bacon and sea salt. These come out crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the center. I love making a mayo based dip for these potatoes with dill and or chives. These potatoes are addictive and delicious.

I LOVE Potatoes

As a person obsessed with potatoes, I make them often for lunch and for a nutrient dense after school snack for the kids.  Plus they are just so pretty to look at!  We got this bunch from Trader Joes but these taters are a popular staple at farmers markets and grocery stores year round. Even the most novice chef cannot screw these up.

There is a full, printable recipe at the end of this post on a recipe card. There is also a Pinterest button on the card that you can easily pin to your own Pinterest board. If you are on Pinterest, you can follow me there at The Tipsy Housewife.

Roast Up Quick

I like to preheat the sheet pan that these taters are going to go on. To me, this helps sear them off and get nice and crispy on the outside. Please be careful when you remove the hot pan from the oven. There has been a lot of times I have forgotten that this pan was HOT when I went back to put this in the oven. Use caution please.

These are better than french fries. With the skins on, they make a super nutritious snack. They also make great leftovers for breakfast, just throw a fried egg on top!

Enjoy!

Roasted Fingerling Snacking Potatoes are a delicious crispy snack or side dish. Roasted with sea salt, bacon and sea salt. These come out crispy on the outside and soft and tender in the center. I love making a mayo based dip for these potatoes with dill and or chives. These potatoes are addictive and delicious.

Ingredients

• 2 to 3 lbs of Fingerling Potatoes
• 2 Strips of Thick Cut Bacon
• Salt
• Pepper
• Olive Oil
• 1 C of Mayo
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of grated onion
• 4 Chives, Sliced Thin
• 1 T Dill

Instructions

1. Wash and dry your potatoes. Then in a large bowl, toss them with olive oil and salt and pepper.
2. Chop up your bacon slices. You can use more bacon if you like, I find 2 slices to be enough. Toss the bacon with your potatoes.
3. Line a baking sheet with foil and put in an oven and let the pan heat with the oven. Set oven temp to 400 degrees. When the oven comes to temp, CAREFULLY remove the pan and add the potatoes and bacon.
4. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the inside and soft in the middle. Sprinkle with the dried dill when you remove the potatoes from the oven. These may need another dusting of salt.
5. While the potatoes cook, add your mayo to a bowl. Add the lemon and grated onion. Stir. Season with salt and pepper, stir, taste and adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Stir in the most of the chives, add to a small bowl for dipping and sprinkle the rest of the chives on top. You can also split the mayo mixture before adding the chives and do one with chives and one with dill.
