ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES

ROASTED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH CRèME FRAîCHE AND CAVIAR

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine potatoes, 2 tablespoons oil, and rosemary in large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Brush large rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon oil. Arrange potatoes, cut side down, in single layer on prepared sheet. Shake pan slightly to prevent sticking. Roast until potatoes are brown, crisp, and cooked through, about 35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on sheet. Place bowls of crème fraîche and caviar on large platter. Arrange potatoes, cut side up, around bowls and serve.

SALT-CRUSTED FINGERLING POTATOES

Steps:

• Put the potatoes, water, and Kosher salt into a pot and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. With a wooden skewer, test to see if they are tender. Pour off most of the water, reserving as much salt as possible.
• Lower the heat and keep a watchful eye on the potatoes. The goal is to let the water evaporate so the potatoes are coated in salt. Be careful not to burn the salt or the potatoes. Cook another 3 to 4 minutes, then remove the potatoes and let cool.
• Use a kitchen towel to wipe the excess salt off each potato, leaving only a light dusting of salt on each. Clean the potatoes one by one so the skins don't break.
• To make the dipping sauce, start by putting the garlic cloves on a skewer. Char them on an open flame. Brush off the blackened skins and roughly chop. Place the parsley and cilantro leaves, the roasted garlic, black pepper, and olive oil into a mini-blender and puree to a smooth consistency.
• Pour the sauce into a small bowl. Serve the potatoes and sauce at room temperature.

Add lemon juice and extra-virgin olive oil. Refrigerate at least 1 day and up to 1 week.
• Drain peel; mince. Stir crème fraîche, minced dill, cilantro, and 1 tablespoon minced peel in small bowl. Cover and chill at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
