    I absolutely love using Cowboy Butter because it adds so much flavor. I pretty much always have some of this in my fridge or freezer (or both!) These crispy fingerling potatoes are super easy because all you have to is melt the butter, add a little olive oil, toss the cut potatoes in it and roast.

    They come out of the oven with crispy edges, fluffy centers and loads of garlic and herb flavor. So, so good.

    • Cowboy Butter
    • olive oil
    • salt and black pepper

    ⏲️ Storage

    Store leftover potatoes in an air tight container in the refrigerator for about 5 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)

    You can reheat them in the microwave, but for best results, place them on a sheet pan in the oven set to 200-degrees F until they're heated through. This way they will stay crispy.

    📖 Variations

    We recommend that you try this delicious side dish for the first time just as it is written for the best results, because that is how the recipe has been tested.

    However, the next time you make it, you might consider one of these different ways of making this great recipe.

    • Garlic Chive Butter and Garlic Basil Compound Butter are also both really delicious with these potatoes.
    • Add a little bit of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
    • If you like, add a bit of fresh rosemary or other fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese to the potatoes before baking.

    🍴 Serving Suggestions

    Honestly, I could probably just make myself a meal out of just these potatoes because they're so good! However, you can make yourself a nice well-rounded meal like a grown up, too.

    Serve these potatoes along with Grilled Lemon Chicken or Spicy Grilled Chicken and a side of Honey Glazed Baby Carrots for an easy weeknight meal.

    Petite Sirloin Steak Recipe or Steak Bites with Garlic Butter also are delicious with these roasted fingerling potatoes and a side of Garlic Green Beans or Oven Roasted Broccoli.
