Last week I found some fingerling potatoes in the grocery. I think this is the first time I have ever seen them in our area! So, naturally, when I saw them, I grabbed them right up! I had to try them. Besides, they were cute! :0)
I thought just roasting them with fresh rosemary, olive oil, salt & pepper would be a great way to try these out for the first time. They were delicious! But then again, what potato isn't delicious?
Rosemary Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
1 lb. fingerling potatoes
2 stalks fresh rosemary
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 450 degrees
Wash and slice potatoes. Coat with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped leaves from two stalks of fresh rosemary.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until done.

3. Jessie of The Hungry Mouse. Jessie and I converse back and forth a lot on stumbleupon! I love our going back and forth and the bits of info we share with each other. I feel like she is a real friend even though I have never met her in person!
4. Marthe of Culinary Delights. Oh Marthe. This woman deserves all kinds of recongition from me. Marthe has a huge heart and is super thoughtful. There has been real snail mail exchange between Marthe and I and I think the blogging world deserves to know what a wonderful person she is! She is so super thoughtful.

9. Amanda of Bits and Bites of Everything. Amanda is my real life friend. She is a sweet, quiet and somewhat shy woman who has been there for me during a tough time a few months ago. She is a good friend who listens and doesn't judge! She started a blog and I'm really proud of her work! She recently made pizza on her own from scratch. Good going Amanda! 🙂
10. Robin Sue of Big Red Kitchen. Robin Sue is another woman with a big good heart! I love everything about her blog. She has a lot of interesting things to tell us and her most recent posts on Stromboli is one of my favorites!
Its hard to stop here. I feel like I'm leaving people out. You are all in my heart! Blogging has become a real part of my life and the friends I have made this way are all very special in their own way!

Those potatoes have me wishing it were dinner time! And congrats on the great award - you deserve it!
Linda
First, you are so deserving of the Sisterhood Award, Shelby! You were one of the very first people I "met" through blogging!
Second, OMG, I can almost taste these potatoes. I might have to make some of these as a side this week!
Meg
Congrats to you and all those you passed the awards to! Totally deserved.
Love these potatoes!
Robin Sue
Thanks so much for the award! I am touched that you liked my Stromboli post. I think these potatoes with the rosemary are my favorite type of potato. Roasting makes that flavor come out so much and it is so comforting to eat. Those valentine cookies look mighty fine too!

Those potatoes look scrumptious!! Congrats on your award!

Thanks so much for the award and the kind words! I've enjoyed our friendship too! The potatoes look fabulous. I bet Grumpy was happy!

I have never heard of fingerling potatoes! Great info. Congrats on the awards 🙂
Jessie
Oh gosh, thank you so much! You know I feel just exactly the same way! 😀
And man, those potatoes look great! I can find fingerlings here in Boston, but I have to go to Whole Foods to get 'em. They do shop up at my local market, but they usually don't look too hot. (Don't think they sell much in my neighborhood, so they just hang around...)
Cheers!

I love the fingerling potatoes too! I have all sorts of potato love, but I love to steam these and top with a little butter and sea salt. I know it is almost 1 in the morning, but I think I have like 8 left in that little bag, maybe a midnight snack in the works?
