Description

Tangy vinegar poaches the potatoes before olive oil roasts them to a golden, crispy finish. Each bite offers a bright vinegar snap, salty depth, and herb-fresh parsley, perfect alongside grilled meats or salads.


Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  2. Place fingerling potatoes in a large saucepan and add white vinegar, water, and kosher salt.
  3. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 10 minutes.
  4. Drain potatoes and pat dry with a clean towel or paper towels.
  5. Transfer potatoes to a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and season with black pepper; toss to coat.
  6. Spread potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast until golden brown and crisp, about 20 to 25 minutes, turning once halfway.
  7. Remove from oven, transfer to a serving dish, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra tang, increase vinegar to 1/3 cup or add a splash of apple cider vinegar.
  • Leftovers reheat well in a hot oven to maintain crispness.
  • Use a paper towel to pat potatoes dry for better roasting results.
  • Serve warm as a side dish or picnic snack.
