For extra crispy potatoes, ensure they are dry before adding them to the skillet. Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or parsley. A squeeze of lemon juice just before serving adds a bright, fresh touch. If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, a regular heavy-bottomed skillet will work, but cast iron provides superior heat retention and browning. To make this recipe vegan, simply substitute the butter with a high-quality vegan butter alternative.

Preheat your largest cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes. While the skillet heats, in a large bowl, toss the fingerling potatoes with olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. (5 minutes)

Carefully add the potato mixture to the hot skillet in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook, stirring occasionally to promote even browning, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown all over. (15-20 minutes)

While the potatoes roast, prepare the herb butter. In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, chopped thyme, and chopped sage until well combined. (2 minutes)
