Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Prepare potatoes: Rinse and dry the fingerling potatoes well. Slice them in half lengthwise to maximize their crispy surface area.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, chopped rosemary, garlic (if using), salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on pan: Spread the potatoes cut-side down in a single layer on the baking sheet. This ensures they roast rather than steam.
- Roast: Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges and fork-tender inside.
- Finish & serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt or Parmesan if desired, and serve hot.
