Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Apples

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Apples are a perfect medley of sweet and savoury. Combined together, you’ll find they compliment any fish or poultry dish while providing a unique and delicious way of teasing your taste buds.

Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Apples

Roasting potatoes alongside another vegetable or even in this case combined with apples, is my favourite way of serving up the yummy spud.

These distinctive crescent shaped and thin skinned fingerling potatoes are a perfect match with a great baking apple.

The Cortland or Empire apples pair really well here. Or any apple that holds its’ shape when baked will do for that matter.

However I wouldn’t use the McIntosh, as this variety gets mushy and falls apart when roasted.

Seasoned apples and potatoes

Look for apples with bright red skins. The bold red colours provide a lovely contrast to the more palish yellow skin of the fingerling potato.

I prefer to keep the seasonings to a few simple ingredients. 

Aside from the customary salt and pepper, I added dried organic mountain oregano.

It’s one of the few dried herbs I have on hand and use quite often when making any kind of roast.

You can purchase the dried stalks whole and keep them in plastic air tight bags for months! This way they’ll retain their natural fragrances and compliment many dishes.

All that’s then needed is a generous drizzle of good quality olive oil and a few squirts of fresh lemon juice to make the flavours pop.

Some salt and pepper to your liking!

Make sure not to over crowd the potatoes and apples on the small baking sheet. This way they’ll roast evenly and caramelize beautifully all around!

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes sliced in half lengthwise
  • 3 medium red apples cored and cut into wedges ( I used Cortland apples )
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • freshly squeezed lemon juice from half a lemon
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano I used an organic brand
  • fine sea salt to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper (for easy cleanup).
  • Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat all over.
  • Transfer the potato and apple mix to the prepared sheet pan while spreading them out in a single layer.
  • You'll want to leave some space between the potatoes and apples so that they roast beautifully.
  • Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the slices over after 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy while still warm.

    Why are fingerlings so darn good?! I love them! They’re not sold where I live, but I always grab them when I’m out of town. Great recipe with the apples and oregano!

    That is a tasty looking combination Marisa. When I cook a German meal I combine sauerkraut, apples and potatoes. I’ll be doing your combo next.

    I just picked up some red and white fingerling potatoes today. I bet the addition of lemon really takes them up notch! I was just listening to The Splendid Table podcast where they were talking about the addition of acid to give food that zing. I am looking forward to making these this weekend!

    This looks and sounds fantastic!! Your photos are beautiful!! I usually roast potatoes on their own, but I would have never thought of pairing them with apples! I’m wondering if Pink Lady apples would work in this recipe? It’s my kids’ favourite apple to eat, so they might be willing to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing! πŸ™‚

      Pink Lady apples are really delicious and have a crunchy bite so they might just hold up well when roasted however I’ve never tried it. I love combining potatoes and other veggies together and sometimes apples. It makes for a lovely contrast in colour and flavour. Do let me know how it goes with the pink lady apples if you give it a go. Thanks so much Rosa?

        Thanks Marisa! I will let you know. The weather has been cooler the last few weeks here in Northern Germany, so I don’t mind turning on the oven. πŸ˜‰ Thanks again!
