Potatoes—bake, fry, roast, stuff with just about anything. Russets, fingerlings, purple, red, Yukon gold the options are overwhelming, the combinations mind blowing. My default potato dish: latkes. What’s better than fried potato crunchiness? But it is time to widen my horizons and try something new.
My short ribs are in the oven for another hour or so. What potato would compliment the sweet richness of the ribs and share the oven?
Fingerling potatoes seem like the natural choice. Fingerlings are firm, buttery and perfect when roasted. If sliced ala Hasselback any additional flavors would infiltrate the entire potato. Meet spicy Hassleback fingerling potatoes. These spicy roasted beauties will brighten up any dish, but are a match made in heaven when they accompany short ribs.
Here’s a short video that shows you just how easy spicy Hasselback fingerling potatoes are to make.
These zingy fingerlings go great with short ribs.
