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!

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.

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.
