Oven-fried fingerling potatoes are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. Fingerling potatoes are long and thin like fingers, hence the name. While fingerling potatoes are smaller in size than regular potatoes, they are packed with more flavor. When roasted in the oven, fingerling potatoes become crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, making them a delight for the taste buds. This recipe is perfect for those who want to indulge in french fries but avoid deep-frying. Fingerling potatoes are a great alternative to regular potatoes as they require less cooking time.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
2.	Cut the potatoes into evenly-sized pieces if necessary.
3.	In a large mixing bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil (or duck fat) and salt until evenly coated.
4.	Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet in a single layer.
5.	Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
6.	Remove the potatoes from the oven and serve immediately.
