Fingerling Potatoes With Dipping Aioli Food

FINGERLING POTATOES WITH DIPPING AIOLI

Steps:

• Place the half bread slice in a bowl with the cider vinegar. Let it soak and soften up for 5 minutes. We will use this bread to thicken the aioli.
• Place the fingerling potatoes in a big pot and cover with cold water. Toss in a tablespoon of salt, then bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your fingerlings. They are done when they are fork tender (taste one to be sure they are perfectly done). Drain and let cool.
• In the meantime, it's time to make the aioli. Place the garlic, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, saffron, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a food processor and blend until very smooth (you don't want big chunks of raw garlic in the aioli). Toss in the bread and its vinegar, and process again until smooth and distributed. With the food processor running, stream in the olive oil so it can emulsify. Once it's a smooth homogeneous mixture, taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
• Slice the fingerlings in half down the length of the potato. Lay them on a platter with a bowl of aioli, and season the potatoes with sea salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives. Serve and enjoy!

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.
