Sunnys Easy Fingerling Potatoes Recipes

DILL FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot. Add the whole potatoes, salt, and pepper, and toss well. Cover the pot tightly and cook over low heat for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are just tender when tested with a small knife. From time to time, shake the pot without removing the lid to prevent the bottom potatoes from burning. Turn off the heat and allow the potatoes to steam for another 5 minutes. Don't overcook. Toss with the dill, and serve hot.

CRISPY FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a big pinch of salt, then cover, and put over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncover, and cook just until the potatoes start to soften but are not cooked all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Shake the potatoes around to roughen up the sides and to let them dry out. Put them into a bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
• Add the olive oil, grill seasoning, paprika and pepper, to taste, to the potatoes and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out onto the preheated baking sheet and roast them until they are cooked through and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time. Remove the potatoes from the oven to a serving bowl and serve.

PERFECT FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the salt, water, and potatoes and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the pot to a cooling rack and let stand for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve as is or with butter, pepper, or chives.

SUNNY'S CRISPY SMASHED ROSEMARY GARLIC FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Microwave the potatoes for the time instructed on the package, minus 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly to handle, then cut the longer potatoes in half, leaving the smaller potatoes intact.
• In a large pan on medium-high heat, add the oil, butter and rosemary stalks. Using the bottom of a dry cup measure or something similar, gently smash each potato portion to about 1/4 inch thick and scrape off with a butter knife. Slide a smashed potato right into the bubbling fat and repeat with the remaining potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are golden and crisp on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip and continue to cook, adding more butter if needed, until golden on the other side, about another 3 minutes. While cooking, mind the rosemary stalks and flip and turn them as well. Once they are lightly crisped, remove them to a drying rack above a baking sheet along with any crisped potatoes. Season gently with salt and pepper.
• Crinkle the rosemary leaves with your fingers or chop gently and add to a large metal bowl with the parsley. Coat the inside of the bowl with the garlic. Transfer the potatoes to the bowl and toss gently until coated. Serve warm.

SUNNY'S EASY ROSEMARY DEVILED POTATOES

Steps:

• Add the potatoes, rosemary and a generous pinch of salt to a large pot. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the potato cooking water. Drain the potatoes.
• Spread the potatoes out on a sheet pan to let cool slightly. While they are still warm, slice the top one-quarter to one-third off each potato lengthwise, and if needed, cut a tiny sliver off the bottom of each to allow them to rest level on a plate. Put the cut-off parts of the potatoes into the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment.
• Add the mustard, yogurt, lemon zest, lots of black pepper and some of the reserved potato water to the food processor. Pulse until coarsely pureed, adding more potato water as needed. (You may need 1/2 to 1 cup of the water.) Be careful not to overprocess or the mixture will become gluey. Adjust the salt if necessary. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or gallon zip-top bag. Slice a 1/2-inch opening in the piping bag or slice off the corner of the zip-top bag.
• Transfer the boiled potatoes, cut-sides up, to a deviled egg plate or serving platter. Top each prepared potato with an equal amount of filling. Garnish with the chives and paprika. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
