Grilled Fingerling Potatoes
Simple, yet incredibly delicious! Fingerling potatoes are a smaller version that cook up quickly, but pack a ton of flavor. When they are grilled they become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. Pair these with mussels for flare, burgers for comfort, or one of many other savory combinations. These fingerlings are the perfect side dish, and healthier than french fries, as they are a thicker cut and are grilled, not fried, so there is less oil that will be absorbed. There are also an endless number of variations to this recipe just by adding extra herbs or spices, such as thyme, oregano, cumin, chili powder, and other common ingredients. I grew up on meat and potatoes and this recipe is simple and delicious. We hope that you enjoy this recipe as it will be a hit with anyone you share it with.
