Steamed Fingerling Potatoes With Spring Garlic

 

1 pound fingerling potatoes

2 spring garlic cloves, coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons best quality olive oil

freshly cracked black pepper to taste

sea salt to taste

 

Rinse the potatoes under cold running water. Place them in the top of a

steamer over simmering water.

Cover and steam until the potatoes are fork tender, 20 to 25 minutes.

While the potatoes are steaming, sauté the garlic in olive oil until just

tender but not browned, about 1 minute. Remove the garlic from the heat but

leave it in the pan with the oil and keep warm.

When the potatoes are tender remove them to a serving platter and, using a

fork, break each potato into 3 or 4 pieces. Sprinkle the potatoes with fleur de

sel and cracked black pepper to taste, then drizzle with the the sautéed garlic

and oil.

Yields 4 servings.
