Thank you to Melissa’s produce and Le Creuset for sponsoring this post. I received product to create and display the recipe. All opinions are my own.
Sadly, today is the final day of #FabulousFallBounty. I love potatoes and use fingerling potatoes quite often. You can probably discern that they are called fingerlings because the look like fingers. They have a classic potato flavor that is earthy, nutty and buttery. Because they are so small they are not ideal for mashing but they are perfect for roasting.
While you can roast them on their own and they are perfectly delicious, take them to another level by adding red and yellow pepper, onions and garlic. Even though I have a plethora of rosemary in my garden, I chose to use thyme in this recipe. Either would be yummy.
I used canola oil, basically because my family prefers it over olive oil, but you could use olive oil if you prefer. Sometimes a neutral oil is best to bring out other flavors in the dish. Try it both ways so you know what you like.
Serve this potato dish alongside any meal you’d like – beef, chicken, fish, pork or lamb.
A big thank you to Camilla at Culinary Adventures with Camilla for organizing this fun and delicious event and to Melissa’s Produce and Le Creuset for sponsoring the #FabulousFallBounty event.

If you’re not familiar with a guajillo chili, Wikipedia describes it as a variety of chile pepper of the species Capsicum annuum which is widely used in the cuisine of Mexico. Its heat is considered mild to medium. I often make gourmet oils for hostess and holiday gifts and realized I had none on the blog. So when I received the beautiful box of produce from 
The first time my youngest son had prime rib at home, he asked if we could have it everyday. My husband and I then explained to him that is was on the expensive side and he should stay in school, get good grades so he could get a good job and afford prime rib to eat everyday. Then we went on to explain why it’s probably not healthy to eat prime rib or red meat everyday.
