  1. I Googled "fingerling potatoes" after they were mentioned in a movie. I had no idea what they were. I am an American who lives in Asia (for almost 20 years). Serious question: Where the hell did these things come from? More importantly, how long have they been around?

  2. At the end, there wasn't one comment from either of them about flavors, if they were memorably delicious, they would have said so. They were terrific, said the best of their comments. I might still make these, I just LOVE potah-toes!! Butter, salt n spice, love…you can't go wrong!

  3. I made these yesterday, what I did was boil them until just slightly under done, cool until they can be handled easily, cut in half lengthwise and face down in a skillet with oil, salt and pepper, then I put the skillet into the oven just after dropping some little knobs of butter all over and waited until they got a little bit crispy. I really liked the crispy inside cut flat bit of the potatoes, but these also look quite nice. I thought about putting some sage in with them but didn't have any on hand.

  4. When I do fingerling potatoes, I pressure-steam them in an instant pot for 10 minutes, with 5-10 minutes natural release, then I dress them in flavorful oil and roast them.
    ATK ought to take advantage of the popularity of electric pressure cookers and incorporate them more into various procedures. For example, when making mashed potatoes, I cut my potatoes into large chunks (4-6 chunks per russet potato) and pressure-steam them. Then I put them through a ricer skin-side up, and the skins don't go through the plates, so I don't even need to peel the potatoes. Then I fold in salted cream, and it's done.

  5. The headline said crispy. How did that happened when steaming potatoes? And nothing was said about the cripsiness, which was the reason I watched this one.
    Maybe in the oven or broiler for a few minutes?

  6. I made these for a party, served with a sour cream dip. It was the dish everyone liked the most at the party. So easy to make, so darned delicious. Nice variation on finger food, too, people liked taking a tiny potato and swiping it through the dip.
