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!
