Grilled Fingerling Potatoes
Simple, yet incredibly delicious! Â Fingerling potatoes are a smaller version that cook up quickly, but pack a ton of flavor. Â When they are grilled they become crispy on the outside while remaining tender on the inside. Â Pair these with mussels for flare, burgers for comfort, or one of many other savory combinations. Â 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. Â 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. Â I grew up on meat and potatoes and this recipe is simple and delicious. Â We hope that you enjoy this recipe as it will be a hit with anyone you share it with.
