3 pounds fingerling potatoes - scrubbed
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Paprika to taste
Garlic powder to taste
6 tablespoons unsalted butter – cut into cubes

Preheat oven to 400 degrees



Cut potatoes in halves, lengthwise and then in half crosswise. Put in a roasting pan and do not heap them onto each other. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder. Dot the butter over the potatoes and roast in the oven until they are browed and slightly crisp on the outside, but still soft on the inside – about 30 – 35 minutes. Watch not to burn the potatoes and serve immediately.
