Description

These Traeger Roasted Fingerling Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and infused with smoky goodness. Tossed with garlic, herbs, and a hint of wood-fired flavor, they make the perfect side dish for steak, chicken, or seafood.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the Traeger – Set your Traeger grill to 400°F and allow it to preheat for about 15 minutes with the lid closed. Use hickory, oak, or applewood pellets for the best flavor.
Prep the potatoes – In a large bowl, toss the halved fingerling potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and thyme.
Roast on the Traeger – Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a cast iron skillet or a grill-safe baking sheet. Place on the Traeger and roast for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Finish & serve – Remove from the grill, sprinkle with fresh parsley and Parmesan (if using), and serve hot!

Notes

Extra crispy potatoes? Soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry.
Want some heat? Add ½ teaspoon of cayenne or red pepper flakes.

Pairs well with grilled steak, smoked chicken, or Traeger salmon!
