It’s almost too hot outside here to grill lately. Almost, but not quite. And being as my kiddo is in love with steak right now, it’s become a part of the weekly rotation. Even if a good steak is on the meal plan each week, I like to keep things fresh and new as far as the sides go. That’s where these Salt & Vinegar Roasted Fingerling Potatoes come in.

I got my hands on some local fingerling potatoes recently, the yellow ones are ‘banana’ fingerlings and then I also got some purple fingerlings. Instead of just the usual oil and salt, I took them a step further this time and pre-cooked them in some vinegar. What’s the point of that, you ask…?

Pre-cooking the potatoes ahead of time in vinegar lets them soak up all that tang, and then with a quick toss in oil and salt they are roasted into warm salt & vinegar chip inspired potatoes. I was told never to cook potatoes any other way again. I’d say that’s a pretty good review! And I tend to agree. These were really so good that I’ll probably keep them on the menu for the foreseeable future to pair with our steak.

Although I don’t think it needs to be said, if you don’t like salt and vinegar chips, then you probably won’t like these potatoes either.
