A quick and easy snack recipe featuring crispy roasted fingerling potatoes tossed with a tangy vinegar punch and salt, perfect for flavor lovers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus extra for finishing
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar (distilled white vinegar recommended)
  • Optional: freshly ground black pepper
  • Optional: pinch of garlic powder
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash about 1.5 pounds (700 grams) of fingerling potatoes thoroughly. Cut them lengthwise into halves.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the halved potatoes with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the potatoes cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer, avoiding crowding.
  5. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through after 15 minutes to brown evenly.
  6. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle 2 tablespoons white vinegar over the hot potatoes. Toss gently to coat.
  7. Adjust seasoning by adding extra salt, pepper, garlic powder, or fresh parsley if desired.
  8. Serve immediately while warm and crispy.

Notes

Add vinegar immediately after roasting while potatoes are hot to keep the vinegar flavor bright and prevent sogginess. Flip potatoes halfway through roasting for even crispness. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Reheat leftovers under a broiler to restore crispness.
