Russian Banana Fingerling Potato
Posted in featured selections on Aug 7th, 2008
An heirloom potato, this little gourmet nugget is a scrumptious treat. If you’re a potato lover, once you have these, you’ll be in love forever. They’re creamy… buttery… an absolute delight in the mouth.
Originally from the Baltic region, Russian banana fingerlings were brought to America by early Russian settlers. These potatoes are featured at high end restaurants for good reason: they melt in your mouth with little fuss. Just wash them well, boil them just until done, toss with a little butter, maybe some fresh herbs, sea salt, and voila! They also cost a pretty penny if you can find them in the markets, so enjoy!
Here’s a link to a fun article about them: “Fingerling Potatoes Pack a Fistful of Flavor.” It offers recipes and storage tips, so definitely worth checking out.
