Photo: Pan Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Crispy Bacon and Fried Sage Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound fingerling (Russian banana) potatoes, each about 3 to 3 1/2 inches long
- Salt and pepper
- 3 strips thick-cut smoked bacon, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/4 cup sage leaves
Directions
Place the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water. Set over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes (depending on the size of the potatoes). Remove from the heat and cool under running cold water. Once cool enough to handle, place the potatoes on a cutting board and slice in half lengthwise, if desired. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper and set aside.
In a large, 12-inch saute pan, place the bacon over medium-heat. Render the bacon until crispy, about 7 to 8 minutes. After a couple minutes of cooking the bacon, add the onion. When bacon is crispy and onion is translucent, add the garlic and sage and cook for 1 minute. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the blanched, seasoned potatoes, cut side down, and cook until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Turn over and cook for an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Re-season, if necessary, and serve while hot.

I gave this recipe three stars because I think the recipe itself was pretty good. I opted not to use bacon fat and just used some butter because the bacon didn't really go with what I was making. I have never had fingerling potatoes before but figured I would give them a try since they were buy 1 get 1 free at my local grocery store. I will not be making them again because they left this horrible metallic taste that lingers for ages. I think this recipe had some great flavors so I am going to try it again with some good old honeygold potatoes and use bacon the second time around.

Delicious and easy to prepare. I used turkey bacon instead of regular bacon, added a little canola oil to make up for the lack of bacon fat and didn't have sage so used an italian seasoning blend. The potatoes came out perfectly still. A bite with some onion, a piece of the bacon and the potatoes was perfection!

not really fried sage, just sauteed along with the fingerlings, but still, very good. i used ground sage, so i wouldn't waste my fresh sage.
