Great potatoes! I used my cast iron skillet to roast the little beauties to perfection. The seasonings were delicious - I threw them all in at once before roasting rather than save some for the end. The fingerlings were great and I'm considering trying this method with larger potatoes cut to a similar size. Thanks for posting LMillerRN - this one's a keeper!

Really a terrific recipe! These are very easy to make -- I followed the directions exactly as written. I omitted the rosemary -- it seems we've had a lot of recipes using rosemary lately, so I opted to use only the thyme. These were delicious. I used a pound of fingerling potatoes and my husband and I hate them all!!!!

Delicious! I did cut back on the salt as suggested in other reviews. Served as a side dish to Kittencal's Easy and Delicious Ranch-Parmesan Chicken. Thanks for posting!
