Receta Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
Fingerling potatoes are my favorite kind of potatoes. They usually make their appearance in the middle of March and stay around pretty much all summer. These elongated potatoes are naturally knobbly and finger-like in shape. Popular varieties include Russian Banana, French, Rose Finn Apple, and Purple Peruvian. They are fully mature when harvested and should not be confused with new potatoes which are freshly harvested young or small potatoes.
Fingerling potatoes are creamy and buttery with a slightly waxy and firm flesh. They can be simply roasted or boiled as a side dish to be served with grilled meats, poultry, and fish. Since they are so flavorful, there is little need to add a ton of other ingredients to them. They also take a shorter time to cook as compared to regular potatoes.
I buy fingerlings throughout the summer and served them as a potato salad or simply roasted with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and olive oil. I normally cook them on the stove or in the oven while Ro-Ri San cooks the meat on the grill outside. For this particular instance, I actually served them with Crusted Baked Salmon (recipe to follow) cooked together in the oven. Worked out really well as both the salmon and potatoes took only 20 minutes to cook.
