{specialty produce : fingerling potatoes}

4 Mar

tell me you’ve tried these before?! i’m pretty sure i’ve mentioned them at least once or twice on this here blog of mine… they are definitely a staple in my home! what’s better than colourful carbohydrates?!

i was a little surprised and way excited when i spotted this multi-coloured pack at the market. my favourite way to prepare them is to simply drizzle them with tons of olive oil and S&P and roast them in a 400 degree oven for about a half hour…

the finished product is a sheen, tender and sweet potato ready for poppin!

they make an excellent side dish, and are also great in soups.

    thank you ashley! it’s a gift, for sure. however, good fotography is also very simple, and it’s really all about two things : composition and lighting. …and, a great little canon lense 😉

I cut them up into chunks and steam mine, then drizzle with garlic salt, pepper and olive oil, and sautee’ for a bit. Just this morning I cut up the pre-cooked ones into a veggie sautee, with two eggs over easy. Yum!
