These delicious roasted fingerling potatoes are perfect with burgers, roast chicken, or scrambled eggs. While the potatoes roast away in the oven, make an olive oil, garlic, herbs, and pepper mixture, then toss with the potatoes right before they're finished cooking. It really puts the flavor over the top. You can also use any combination of herbs you have on hand, though we call for fresh rosemary, sage, and thyme. You can use parsley, basil, or oregano too. If preferred, cook the potatoes all the way through and remove them from oven, then toss with fresh herb mixture if you don't want to mix everything together on a hot pan.
