Garlic-Roasted Fingerlings

I had never heard of fingerlings before - saw them at Whole Foods and found that we both love them.

Garlic Roasted Fingerlings

Ingredients:

• 1 pound mixed fingerling potatoes - Russian banana, French, Austrian crescent and ruby crescent - cut into 1 inch chunks (if you've never used them, you will be surprised that the ruby crescent is totally red inside and out)
• 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tsp. sear salt
• 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 tbsp. minced thyme
• 1 tsp. minced garlic - or more if you like it

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix olive oil, salt, pepper and thyme in a large bowl. 
3. Add potatoes and mix well until all are coated.
4. Arrange potatoes on large baking pan - one layer deep. 
5. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
6. Remove foil and roast potatoes for 30 minutes.
7. Remove pan from oven and spread garlic evenly on all potatoes. 
8. Return to oven and roast an additional 10 minutes to make sure the garlic is not burnt.

For the leftovers, add some dill and serve with salmon.
