The next chicken recipe calls for fingerlings or new potatoes.
Behold fingerlings. I'm looking forward to trying them.
Meanwhile, I looked up potato in the ol' Larousse Gastronomique and learned a little potato history:
The potato, which was originally grown by the Incas, was discovered in Peru by Pizarro and brought to Europe in 1534. Fifty years later, Sir Walter Raleigh made the same discovery in Virginia and brought the potato to England. The English name, like the Spanish (batata), is derived from patata, the American Indian name for the sweet potato (due to early confusion between the two vegetables).Pacific Gold baby fingerling potatoes available in the produce section of Ralph's in a 1.5 lb bag for $3.99.
