Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Fresh Herbs and Garlic. Tyler Florence.Tyler's UltimateTU0602

Preheat oven to 500 degrees F and place a baking sheet inside to heat.

Add potatoes, rosemary, sage, thyme, and garlic to a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Remove sheet pan from oven, lightly coat with olive oil, and pour potatoes onto pan. Place potatoes in oven and reduce heat to 425 degrees F. Roast for 20 minutes, or until crispy on outside and tender on inside.

The idea of the recipe is great, but it reduces the amount of flavor achieved. Heres how to make this recipe more flavorful:
* Cut the fingerling potatoes in half horizontaly
*Remove the herbs from thier stems, discard stems, and chops up herbs
*Add herbs and the unpeeled garlic cloves to the olive oil and let sit while the oven is heating up
* Add potatoes to bowl with herb mixture and stir together then pour onto hot pan
* Once potatoes are cooked, take garlic out of peel and mash. Put cooked potatoes in bowl of mashed garlic and mix around. 

Oh my gosh, these were wonderful.  The unpeeled garlic cloves add a smooth texture  to the potatoes.  This is one of my fave fingerling recipes.  I will say though that it needed more time than the recipe called for.

i really only used this recipe as a light guide, but i wanted to comment on the importance of soaking the potatoes, chopping them, and using fresh ingredients like real garlic and real oregano. i added that, a tiny bit of shallots, bay leaves, parsley, and thyme, combined with extra light virgin olive oil---the kind for sautéeing and seasoning, not the greenish kind. i let it soak in a bowl of it, also drizzled more on top. i also tossed it a lot to get the flavor right. chopping them is so important, bc otherwise the flavor wont infuse as well. you really have to use the fresh ingredients so that the flavor stays put throughout the heating and tossing and drizzling. otherwise it will be overwhelmed. 

Not awesome, sadly.  I added herbs like dried rosemary, minced garlic and salt and pepper.  They're needed an extra 10 mins in oven and I still didn't achieve a crispy skin.  Wouldn't be be overly proud to have served these at a dinner party.  Needed more flavor and crispy skin.

I make these potatoes all the time and they're always great. It works with whole small potatoes, slightly bigger ones cut in half, with any herbs from the garden or none at all. Perfect and popular potato recipe. Only bad thing--never any leftovers!

a pint is two cups.  just fill 1cup measuring cup 2x. 

I usually LOVE Tyler Florence's recipes BUT who in the #$@#$ Measures Potatoes by the pint?
I have no idea how many potatoes to use for this recipe.

Absolutely delicious, easy to bake up and now a family favorite. I topped with bits of bacon for last year's side to just make it different. Yummy.

great recipe; DO NOT USE A BAKING SHEET!!!!  almost set my house on fire!  use something with raised edges or else all that olive oil is going to fall into your oven and throw smoke everywhere.

Perfect Potatoes!  This was my first time using fingerling potatoes and this recipe was wonderful!  I did not have fresh thyme or sage, but the dried herbs with fresh rosemary  gave this dish a great savory flavor. As my husband and I are fans of red pepper flakes, I did add about 2 shakes to give another layer of flavor. Will definitely make for dinner guests!
