Prep: 15 min., Bake: 44 min. We developed this potato-and-green bean dish to pair with the delicious dressing recipe from a reader. Fingerlings are not just available at gourmet stores. One editor purchases them at a wholesale club, while I buy them at my grocery store. Plan to make the dressing while the potatoes cook.

Yield: Makes 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2  pounds  fingerling potatoes*
  • 1 1/2  tablespoons  olive oil, divided
  • 1  teaspoon  salt, divided
  • 3/4  teaspoon  cracked pepper, divided
  • 1/2  pound  tiny green beans (haricots verts)
  • Creamy Tarragon Dressing

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Cut fingerlings in half lengthwise, and place in a large bowl. Toss with 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Place potato halves, cut sides up, in a jelly-roll pan. Toss green beans with remaining 1/2 Tbsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper, and place in another jelly-roll pan.

2. Bake potatoes at 425° for 30 to 32 minutes or until tender and browned. Remove from oven, and let potatoes stand in pan.

3. Bake green beans at 425° for 12 minutes.

4. Arrange green beans around roasted potatoes on a serving platter. Drizzle with Creamy Tarragon Dressing.

*1 1/2 lb. small red potatoes, halved, may be substituted with a bake time of 35 minutes. 1 1/2 lb. russet potatoes, quartered, may be substituted with a bake time of 40 minutes.

This recipe was great! I forgot to pick up buttermilk at the store so we had to substitute sour cream at the last minute and it still turned out fabulous. I would definitely make this for company. The green beans would probably be just as good if they were just steamed.10/24/08

Wonderful flavor! Easy enough for everyday and has enough WoW factor for company! Used trio of white, purple and red potatoes. No changes to the recipe -- none needed. This is definitely a Keeper. Served with CL Hoisin Bourbon Glazed Pork Tenderloin and CL Plum Salsa. The Creamy Tarragon Dressing is very, very good.08/29/08
