16 steps

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons light or extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt to taste
  • Paprika to taste (see Note)

Directions

  1. 1
    Scrub the potatoes well.
  2. 2
    No need to peel them, but do cut away any overly dark or knobby spots, of which there should be few.
  3. 3
    Cut each potato in half lengthwise, which results in a short, chunky French-fry shape.
  4. 4
    Place the potatoes in a nonstick skillet with 1/2 cup water.
  5. 5
    Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and cover.
  6. 6
    Simmer steadily for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the potatoes can be pierced with a knife but are still quite firm.
  7. 7
    Drain any water from the skillet.
  8. 8
    Drizzle in the olive oil.
  9. 9
    Turn the heat to medium-high and fry the potatoes, stirring frequently, until touched with golden brown on most sides, 5 to 8 minutes.
  10. 10
    Remove from the heat and season with salt and paprika.
