A few Sundays ago I had plans to roast a whole chicken for dinner but with zero side dish plans. Pat and I headed out and stopped by our nearby market to grab some things to go with the chicken and a few things for the week. Three pound bags of fingerling potatoes immediately caught my attention, so I grabbed a bag and a few heads of broccoli (for roasting!) to go with our dinner.

Once I was home I quickly pulled this recipe together with the help of my rosemary plant. I love the smell of fresh rosemary. The plant is right by our front steps and I frequently rub my fingers along its branches just to breathe in that woodsy smell.

This recipe is one of those just-sort-of-happened kind of recipes. It’s so incredibly simple with its straight forward ingredients and the smoked salt really adds a whole lot of flavor. A simple side dish consisting of 5 ingredients and goes with just about everything. What’s not to love?

Don’t attempt to try to flip them while they’re in the oven or half of the the potato will be stuck to the pan. Be patient and allow the potatoes to cool for about 5 minutes before trying to remove them.
