foodie fridays: crispy salt and vinegar fingerling potatoes with fresh chives
Welcome to Foodie Fridays! Delight your taste buds with our crispy salt and vinegar fingerling potatoes, garnished with fresh chives. A culinary celebration of flavor awaits in every bite.
Raise your hand if you forgot Memorial Day was this coming Monday?
(raises hand!!)
Seriously, did it not come out of nowhere? I feel as though Easter was five minutes ago. With summer officially kicking off on Monday, that whole summer bucket list thing-a-ma-jig, yeah, haven’t even started it. Am I a slacker? A non-summer enthusiast? GASP! Oh, dear, we can’t have that rumor splashing around poolside.
Mr. B and I are heading to the Little Apple this weekend to spend time with family and check on the restaurants. So, I figured on the eight hour car ride between Denver and Manhattan, Kansas, I will make a sassy list of shenanigans I want to accomplish.
A few of the big ones off the top of my head include: climbing a 14’er, making homemade tater tots(!!!), posting how-to photography posts, and getting back to painting with water colors. Oooooooh…and I totally want to do an official grub crawl of Denver! Who wants to join?
Now that I am jazz-hands excited about summer 2014, let’s talk taters real quick. Potatoes are essential, in my opinion, to summer picnics, barbecues, and late night dinners on the patio. This is where I tell you the whole tired baked potato is getting thrown out the window. Enter, these salt and vinegar fingerling potatoes. I saw this recipe on Food and Wine and thought fingerling potatoes would be fun. It’s 2014, you gotta’ take it up a notch.
Plus, I love the flaky salt and kick of vinegar that makes these skillet potatoes almost taste like a bag of chips. Only wayyyyyyyy better.
Have a safe and happy Memorial Weekend, friends. Cheers!
Gorgeous pan of potatoes! I love salt and vinegar chips, need to try this now!!

I do the same thing on long car rides. And it seems like that’s when I’m always conniving the next vacation too. Have a great time, and thanks for leaving us with these real potato version of my favorite potato chip.

Those potatoes look amazing. I usually make them in the oven but I think the don’t look as delish as yours! Thank you for sharing. And a great weekend to you too, Lauren…
Can’t wait to try these! And yeah, I’m with you. How is it Memorial Day already?? I gotta get my butt in gear.
Me-whatmy day? So much going on I can’t even keep up
These are awesome super-spuds!
I think that when you work at home, pretty much every holiday starts to feel like it’s out of the blue. Memorial Day? What?
These potatoes sound so delightful and classic!
Love the flavour of these potatoes! They look great!
Killer Combo!! Way to kick up the usual spuds!
Trying these tonight with a garlic roasted tenderloin and green bean blue chhese salad!
I want a pan of these, a glass of wine and some trashy TV. STAT>
Salt and vinegar is so irresistible!

I hope you had a great weekend visiting with family and friends. These salt and vinegar potatoes are calling my name. I am a sucker for salt and vinegar chips, so can imagine that I would love the taste of these.
These sound insanely good, count me in on the salt and vinegar! I’ve been a potato fiend all week and need to add this to the list!
This sounds so, so good!! I seriously have to try these. I love anything with potatoes!
Salt & vinegar has to be the best combo on the face of the Earth. Pass the skillet. Pinned.
I whole heartedly approve of your summer to-do list – and a grub crawl around Denver? I’m buying my ticket there STAT!!
Its true, you just can’t have summer without taters! I love this salt and vinegar play on them, especially since I’m a mayo hater. I’ll happily nosh on these all summer long while everyone else eats the potato salad.
