What are fingerling potatoes?

Fingerling potatoes are a small, stubby, finger-shaped potato.  They’re a little odd looking, but they’re fun to use in recipes because people don’t expect to see them!

Fingerling Potato and Prosciutto Salad

In this recipe, fingerling potatoes are tossed with a lightly creamy dressing.  They’re not smothered in it as you see in other potato salad recipes.  Thin slices of prosciutto are mixed in, and they make a delicious addition.

Shallots, parsley and fresh sage round out the flavors in this salad.  It’s the perfect sort of potato salad to serve at a nicer, more intimate gathering.  People will appreciate that you made something new!
