RECIPE: REC: Fingerling Potato and Prosciutto Salad

RECIPE:
Oooh this looks good Meryl. Wouldn’t you know I had fingerling potatoes for the first

time over the weekend in a recipe called Monkfish Grande Mère (slab bacon, mushrooms, potatoes, and onions) from my Balthazar cookbook. I tasted the potatoes before I sautéed them as ¼” disks. The potatoes are delicious but, unfortunately, the recipe wasn’t that great.

After going home and checking my receipt (dumb), I noticed the cashier charged me $3.69 for a pound when I only bought 9 oz.! That really ticks me off when I already bought a small fortune in there for the recipe.

Thanks for posting!

 
Another Fingerling Potatoe recipe and a cool use for salt----

This was in the Seattle Times last week as a side for prime rib. It is from Ethan Stowell of Union Restaurant, he is opening an Italian place in Belltown soon the article says. I will try this for sure

Salt Roasted Fingerling Potatoes
8-12 servings

5-6 cups kosher salt or other course salt
3# fingerling potatoes
2 Tabls extra virgin olive oil
freshly gound black pepper
1 bunch Italian parsley finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350F. Potatoes may be roasted before roast and reheated in hot oven

Spread 1/2" layer of salt in 9"x13" pan and arrange potatoes in a single layer. Bake about 1 hour till done all the way through.

Remove from pan and brush off salt and transfer to large heatproof bowl. Potatoes can be held at room temp for two hours.

When ready to serve, reheat is necessary in 450F oven while roast is resting. Toss with olive oil and check for salt, shouldn't need much, add pepper and parsley.

And this I saw on Martha last week--for a centerpiece, she took a large shallow dish and filled with coarse salt, placed tea lights in salt up to the rims and lite them. Was really elegant looking!

 
Sandy, would you believe I've *never* had fingerling potatoes?? Hope you like the recipe! (P.S.

bring back your receipt and get a credit for those potatoes)!

 
I give up. Meryl & orchid, it was just an "in-your-face" blow-up of the salad from Meryl's

link. The blow-up cannot be done now for some reason.

Meryl, I'll let ya know how the salad turns out.
