CRISPY FINGERLING POTATOES
Steps:
- Put the potatoes into a large pot and cover them with water. Add a big pinch of salt, then cover, and put over high heat. Bring to a boil, uncover, and cook just until the potatoes start to soften but are not cooked all the way through, about 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the warm pot. Shake the potatoes around to roughen up the sides and to let them dry out. Put them into a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Put a baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
- Add the olive oil, grill seasoning, paprika and pepper, to taste, to the potatoes and toss to coat. Spread the potatoes out onto the preheated baking sheet and roast them until they are cooked through and crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes once halfway through the cooking time. Remove the potatoes from the oven to a serving bowl and serve.

OVEN-FRIED FINGERLING POTATOES
I discovered fingerlings at a Farmer's Market a couple of years ago and found the best method that makes them fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside. The parboil method may not be necessary, but otherwise it won't be so fluffy on the inside. Duck or goose fat is ideal for this, but I have never tried it due to cholesterol. Make sure to rough the potatoes up well in the colander to get a maximum crispness on the outside. I tend to eat them cold from the fridge the next day, but they can also be used as an appetizer with an Aioli dip or one of your choice. They are seriously addicting in our family!

Tips:
- For crispy fingerling potatoes, make sure they are dry before frying. Pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel.

- Heat the oil to 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from absorbing too much oil.
- Fry the potatoes in batches, if necessary. Don't overcrowd the skillet or Dutch oven, or the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes per batch.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tarragon sauce, ketchup, or mayonnaise.
