Fingerling Potatoes

After a long practice in the sun, it's nice to sit down, relax, and watch a little T.V. Of course, when watching T.V., it's always very convenient to start snacking, and, after expending so much energy, the body naturally feels the need for some replenishing. So as usual, I walk into the kitchen opening the fridge and the cabinets searching for the perfect snack food. Has anyone else ever opened the fridge, walked away, and then opened the fridge again 40 seconds later hoping some magic snack will appear that wasn't there before? Well finally I decided to take my own advice, and cook something guilt-free to snack on while watching the season finale of Glee.

I found a bag of fingerling potatoes and figured I could season them, roast them, and in no time start snacking away. I mixed some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, basil, salt and pepper, and some spicy Cajun seasoning I found in the spice cabinet. I poured the mixture over the potatoes and baked them for 30 minutes.

The potatoes came out of the oven and were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The seasonings were completely absorbed by the potatoes, and they proved to be a beyond satisfying snack food: all natural ingredients, low in fat, the only real calories coming from the potatoes and the olive oil, and ridiculously delicious. Also, the fingerling potatoes came in different colors, so they not only tasted good and were good for you, but they looked amazing.
