FINGERLING POTATOES WITH AIOLI
Steps:
- Rinse the potatoes and put them in a large saucepan. Cover them with cold water, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until they are just tender. Drain the potatoes in a colander and place a kitchen towel on top, allowing them to steam for 5 to 10 minutes.
- For the aioli, tear the slice of bread into pieces and place in a bowl. Pour the vinegar over the bread, and set aside for 5 minutes.
- Place the garlic cloves, egg yolks, zest, juice, saffron, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the bread, and puree into a paste. With the processor running, slowly pour the oil into the bowl through the feed tube and process until it is the consistency of thick sour cream. Place in a serving bowl.
- Slice the potatoes in half and place them on a serving plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and decorate with the chopped chives. Serve with the aioli.

Steps:
- Place the half bread slice in a bowl with the cider vinegar. Let it soak and soften up for 5 minutes. We will use this bread to thicken the aioli. Place the fingerling potatoes in a big pot and cover with cold water. Toss in a tablespoon of salt, then bring to a boil, and simmer for about 10-15 minutes, depending on the size of your fingerlings. They are done when they are fork tender (taste one to be sure they are perfectly done). Drain and let cool. In the meantime, it's time to make the aioli. Place the garlic, egg yolks, lemon zest, lemon juice, saffron, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a food processor and blend until very smooth (you don't want big chunks of raw garlic in the aioli). Toss in the bread and its vinegar, and process again until smooth and distributed. With the food processor running, stream in the olive oil so it can emulsify. Once it's a smooth homogeneous mixture, taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Slice the fingerlings in half down the length of the potato. Lay them on a platter with a bowl of aioli, and season the potatoes with sea salt and pepper, and sprinkle with chives. Serve and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: For this recipe, fingerling potatoes are the best choice. They are small, slender, and have a delicate flavor that pairs well with the aioli dipping sauce.
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly: Before cooking, scrub the potatoes well under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Parboil the potatoes: Parboiling the potatoes before roasting helps to ensure that they are cooked through evenly. To parboil, place the potatoes in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Roast the potatoes: After parboiling, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 425°F for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Make the aioli dipping sauce: While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the aioli dipping sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine mayonnaise, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Serve the potatoes with the aioli dipping sauce: Once the potatoes are roasted, transfer them to a serving dish and serve immediately with the aioli dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
These fingerling potatoes with aioli dipping sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The potatoes are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the aioli dipping sauce is flavorful and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
