These herb-roasted fingerling potatoes are golden, tender, and packed with flavor: the ultimate side dish for holidays, festive gatherings, and casual dinners (steak and potatoes, anyone?). Baby potatoes are tossed in a rich herbed butter, then roasted to crisp perfection. They naturally work best with beef roasts and roasted chicken, but will be the perfect side dish for pork tenderloin, baked salmon, or even cold in a salad. Enjoy!
