Lemon-Roasted Fingerling Potatoes

Are you tired of that same old dish of mashed potatoes? If so, here’s a recipe to shake them up!
Potatoes are an absolute favorite around this house and I’ve prepared them a multitude of ways; however, I have never had them with lemons that I can remember until coming upon this recipe. The lemon transforms the potatoes into a tangy vegetable. And using fingerling potatoes takes the recipe from being great to being perfect, I think.
There are several varieties of fingerling potatoes. They are a heritage family of potatoes growing smaller than conventional potatoes. They are elongated, sort of knobby, making them finger-like shaped and great for roasting, broiling, grilling, or boiled; however you like your potatoes.
The potatoes are perked up with the lemon and fresh thyme in this simple dish and they would go with everything ~ ham, beef, chicken, seafood, burgers and all. Lemon-roasted fingerling potatoes are a great alternative to the high calorie potato salad or potatoes au gratin and perfect for this time of year, especially with grilling season beginning.
