Boiled Fingerling Potatoes

Both fingerling and new potatoes can be used in this recipe. New potatoes are boiling potatoes that have been harvested at least a month earlier than regular potatoes. Simply steamed, they are thin-skinned, tender, and delicious. Fingerling potatoes are similarly tender and even more delicious. They are called for in this recipe, simply because it's fun to mix together the different colors that are available. Tender boiled potatoes make for a wonderful complement to grilled chicken or fish, and are an essential component of a Deconstructed Salmon Niçoise Salad. — Allison Beck
