Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
1/2 teaspoon smoked hot paprika* or Hungarian hot paprika
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
12 4-ounce fingerling potatoes, Yukon Golds, or red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled
Fleur de sel (fine French sea salt)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Bring 1 tablespoon water to boil in small saucepan. Add saffron. Remove from heat. Cover and let steep 15 minutes. Mix in paprika, then mayonnaise, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. (Aioli can be made 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Place potatoes in pot with enough cold salted water to cover. Bring to boil and cook until just tender, about 25 minutes. Drain. Cool slightly. Press gently on potatoes to split skins and crack open. Sprinkle with fleur de sel.
  • Place 2 potatoes on each of 6 plates. Drizzle with saffron aioli; sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
  • *Smoked hot paprika from Spain, called pimentón de la Vera, is available at some specialty foods stores and by mail order from Tienda.com.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Small, new potatoes are best for this recipe, as they cook quickly and evenly. Yukon Gold or red potatoes are good choices.
  • Scrub the potatoes well: This will help to remove any dirt or debris. You can use a vegetable brush to help with this.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still slightly firm in the center. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy.
  • Use fresh garlic and saffron: This will give the potatoes the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder.
  • Add the saffron early in the cooking process: This will allow it to infuse the potatoes with its flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can add other ingredients to taste. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, paprika, or chili powder.
