07 Aug Roasted Fingerling Fries
At Blooming Glen Farm the favored fingerling potato is “Laratte” a specialty gourmet French fingerling potato with a tan skin, dark yellow flesh and a nutty flavor reminiscent of hazelnuts and chestnuts. Smooth and creamy texture (think butter!), the babies (½”-1″) truly melt in your mouth. These fingerling potatoes are the star of this simple but delicious side dish. It pairs well with grilled proteins, sandwiches like BLTs, or even breakfast dishes.

1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp black pepper

- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove and flip each potato. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
- Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes to nicely brown the potatoes.
- Carefully place the potatoes into a serving bowl and garnish with the fresh parsley.
