This Hands Off Garlic Fingerling Potatoes recipe is delicious. These potatoes make the perfect side to any meal and are quick and easy to make.

Garlic Fingerling Potatoes | Hostess At HeartHands Off Garlic Fingerling Potatoes are my very favorite potato recipe.  They are so easy to cook, don’t need to be cut up, and really take on they flavors that you add to them.  This recipe pretty much lets you walk away from them so they can do their magic all by themselves.

Garlic Fingerling Potatoes | Hostess At HeartThis weekend I bought a pint of fingerling potatoes at the farmers market.  We were grilling steak, and I knew that they would be delicious as a side.  I’ve made these before and sometimes will use fresh rosemary and thyme, or dill.  I made them this time with fresh garlic.

You don’t need a recipe for these taters, but I just love these little guys so much that I thought I just had to share.Garlic Fingerling Potatoes | Hostess At Heart

If you over cook garlic, it becomes bitter.  For that reason, I just allow it to steam into the potatoes at the end.  You can use any herb or even grated parmesan.

    Gorgeous fingerling potatoes Julie, I must have missed this post when I was away. So glad it made it to a favorite choice by the FF readers. I like the simplicity of it, such a great side dish left unattended whilst you prepare the rest of the meal. It would go so beautifully with a nice roast.
