prosciutto wrapped fingerling potatoes

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 1 lb fingerling potatoes
• 3 oz package prosciutto (or more)
• salt, pepper and oil

Preparation

Step 1

1. place potatoes in a pot and fill with water to about an inch over the potatoes and salt the water liberally, about 1/4 cup or more (lots more) if you don’t have any issue with blood pressure ;)
2. bring to a boil and let it cook for about 25 minutes or until fork-tender (when you poke the potato with a fork or knife, the utensil comes out easily).
3. drain the potatoes and place them on a towel to dry and cool them. in the meantime, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
4. once the potatoes are cool enough to handle, wrap each one with half (or if you have lots of them use a whole one) of a prosciutto and set them in a parchment lined baking sheet.
5. drizzle the freshly prosciutto wrapped potatoes with oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
6. place in the oven and let it crisp up, about 15-20 minutes.
7. serve warm with mayo, horseradish mayo or blue cheese dressing.
