fingerling potato

Small oblong tuber

A fingerling potato is a small, narrow potato variety shaped roughly like a finger—elongated and slender rather than round.

Fingerlings have thin skins and waxy, firm flesh that holds its shape well when cooked, making them popular for roasting or potato salads: I tossed the fingerlings with olive oil and rosemary.
