Fried Fingerlings
Method
Fried Fingerlings
- 1
Prepare the Potatoes
Wash the fingerling potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- 2
Cut the Potatoes
Cut the fingerling potatoes in half lengthwise. This helps them cook evenly and increases the surface area for frying.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Use enough oil to completely submerge the potatoes.
- 4
Fry the Potatoes
Once the oil is hot (around 350°F / 175°C), carefully add the halved fingerling potatoes in batches. Fry them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Make the Miso Aioli

- 7
Serve
Plate the fried fingerlings and serve them hot with the miso aioli on the side for dipping.
