Salt and Vinegar Broiled Fingerling Potatoes — Side Dish Recipes Win
Side dish recipes don't get much better than this. These broiled fingerling potatoes are soaked in tangy vinegar, crisped up under the broiler, and finished with a punch of flavor that’ll remind you of your favorite chips—but better. We’re talking side dish recipes easy enough for weeknights, yet good enough for company.
This isn’t just another potatoes recipes easy entry. It walks the line between comfort and surprise. I’ve served these with everything from grilled fish to roasted mushrooms (hello, mushroom side dish dreams), and once—true story—with salted cod because I was testing a salt fish recipe. It slapped.
Oh, and if you’re watching your sodium, these work beautifully with minimal salt, so you’re entering salt free recipes territory. Think of them as Portuguese potatoes with a broiler twist. The kind of thing that makes you go, “Wait, why don’t I make this more often?”
