If you’re tired of bland roasted potatoes or greasy fries, these Salt and Vinegar Fingerling Potatoes deliver crispy roasted fingerlings tossed in tangy vinegar and flaky sea salt perfect British pub-style snack or steakhouse side.

Roasting concentrates their natural buttery flavor while vinegar soak adds irresistible zing without sogginess. With years of potato perfection, I’ve crafted this 30-minute recipe for maximum crunch and tang. Here’s everything you need: ingredients, easy steps, variations, and tips.

Why This Recipe Works

• Fingerlings’ thin skins crisp beautifully while interiors stay creamy
• Vinegar soak tenderizes and infuses flavor before roasting seals it in
• Flaky sea salt provides perfect salty crunch contrast to tangy vinegar

• Scales easily for crowds or meal prep

Ingredients & Prep

• 1 ½ lbs fingerling potatoes (or small Yukon Golds), halved lengthwise
• ¼ cup white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 ½ teaspoons flaky sea salt (plus more for finishing)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line large baking sheet with parchment.
2. Place halved potatoes in bowl; cover with vinegar. Soak 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway. Drain well and pat completely dry with paper towels.
3. In same bowl, toss drained potatoes with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, pepper, and 1 tsp sea salt.
4. Arrange cut-side down on baking sheet in single layer. Roast 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.
5. Immediately transfer to bowl, sprinkle generously with flaky sea salt, and toss with parsley. Serve hot.

Flavor Variations

FAQs

• No fingerlings? Small whole Yukon Golds or red potatoes work.
