SMASHED FINGERLING POTATOES
A great side dish to any meal, these unusually prepared potatoes are an attention-getter and taste divine! Spark them up even further with another herb of your choice. Prep/cook times are approximate. NOTE: Some of the photos posted are of baby yukon potatoes (I think!) which are very similar in taste, texture and color to fingerlings.

Steps:
- Wash/scrub the fingerling potatoes and boil, unpeeled, for 12 minutes. Drain and let cool.
- Take each fingerling between your hands and squash it between your palms. The idea is to beak the skin and flatten the potato, but not to crush it completely; it should still stay intact as much as possible.
- Heat a skillet with ½" to 1" of oil on high heat. When the oil is hot, about 350F, deep-fry each fingerling, turning them over midway when each side is browned. Drain on paper towels.
- In another pan, melt butter and add minced garlic and parsley. Stir briefly over medium heat to release flavors, then toss fingerling potatoes into this mixture.

SMASHED FINGERLING POTATOES
Steps:
- Slip the potatoes into a large pot of cold water, and bring to a boil. Add a few large pinches of salt, and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, and let cool for about 20 minutes.
- Once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, place them on a sheet tray and gently press them down to flatten. (It helps to use the edge of a large clean chef's knife, pressing the potatoes down flat one at a time, until they flatten to a 1 1/2-inch thickness.) Drizzle on the olive oil, and add the garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Gently toss until the potatoes are well coated.
- Heat your grill to medium heat. Remove the potatoes from the sheet tray, and grill them until they are golden brown and crisp, about 4 or 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the crispy potatoes to a platter. Give them a taste, and add more salt and freshly ground black pepper if necessary.
- NOTE
- The trick here is to not overboil your potatoes. You don't want the potatoes to crumble and fall through your grill grates!
SMASHED FINGERLINGS WITH BBQ SAUCE
Steps:
- Boil the fingerlings in a pot of salted water until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and then spread the fingerlings out on a baking sheet to cool slightly. Cover with a sheet of parchment or wax paper and then baking sheet. Press down on the baking sheet to squash the fingerlings to a 1/3-inch thickness. Set aside to cool completely.
- Combine the wing sauce, cider vinegar, agave, hot sauce and sriracha in a bowl. Mix well.
- Heat 2 to 3 inches of canola oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy pot.
- Working in batches, fry the smashed fingerlings until golden and very crispy, 7 to 8 minutes. (It's OK if they break up a little; it just means more crispy edges!) Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with the BBQ sauce.
