The Best Bacon Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Herbs

For this recipe of Bacon Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Herbs I used the multi-colored fingerling potatoes (red, yellow and purple) that can be purchased in small bags in the produce department. If you can’t find them, or if you want to use the regular all yellow fingerling potatoes, go for it. I honestly don’t notice any difference in taste between the purple potatoes and the yellow ones. To me they’re just something fun and different that will add a little extra pop of color to your side dish.

AND…as my husband likes to say:

He was the inspiration for this apron 🙂

This apron, and many more like it are available in my Etsy shop along with my hand painted glassware. I hope you’ll visit me there sometime and have a look around. Custom orders are always welcome, and I will happily work from any photo, idea or description you have in mind.
