Today is a special day! The French Fingerling Potatoes are in, and they are gorgeous! I can't believe how well they did. This was my first time growing this variety and I couldn't be happier with the results. Who knew that buying a bag of fingerling potatoes from Whole Foods, letting them start to sprout, and planting them could result in such a bountiful potato harvest 4 months later? From a 1 pound bag of potatoes, I ended up with about 10 pounds of beautiful, blushing fingerlings. I can't wait to cook these beauties. There is nothing better than a fresh potato straight from the Earth. I like to simply steam them, crush slightly, drizzle with the finest extra virgin olive oil, and sprinkle with crunchy sea salt. This simple preparation allows one to really taste the true essence of the potato.
