Super Bowl Party Potatoes

Categories:

If you are trying to come up with a new finger food for this year's Super Bowl party that is easy to prepare, easy on the budget and remarkably good, try these Potatoes Wrapped in Prosciutto. 

I recommend the use of fresh, small fingerling variety potatoes that can be found at the Saratoga Farmers' Market vendor, Sheldon Farms. Fingerlings are small and perfectly sized for this dish and Sheldon's are very clean and sweet tasting with good texture.

This simple recipe satisfies our "meat and potato" types, but they also look and taste so good that our more "gourmet" types will be impressed. 

Ingredients:
12 small fingerling (or new pota-
 toes), cleaned but unpeeled
12 very thin slices of prosciutto
2  tablespoons of olive oil
kosher salt

Directions:
1. Cook the potatoes in boiling
 water until tender, but not
 soft.
2.  Drain and cool.
3.  Roll each cooked potato with
 a slice of prosciutto, molding
 the ham to the potato.
4. Preheat the oven to 400
 degrees. Brush a roasting pan
 with olive oil. Put wrapped
 potatoes in pan and bake for
 20 minutes. Keep turning
 potatoes so they don't get over
 done on one side. 
5. Serve potatoes sprinkled with
 coarse salt and (team colors)
 toothpicks as skewers.
