I have a full-blown obsession going on with fingerling potatoes.
How fun is that word?!
Fingerling.
I’ve been eating them by the bag-full lately. They only take about 20 minutes to steam – which makes them perfect for lunches.
Just sauté yourself some mustard greens (you can completely taste the mustard flavor…so delicious), sprinkle on a little nutritional yeast, slap some butter on top (then watch it slide down those gorgeous fingerlings) grab yourself a magazine, and enjoy!
Any good lunches you’ve had lately?
Oh yum – I like lunch lately! I’m especially obsessed with potatoes. It’s my thing!
I’m still lacking when it comes to creative lunches! Ha, ha. But I have hope that someday, I’ll be good at putting together lunches that have variety… and flavor. LOL! Those potatoes look delish!
Yeah, I am there with you…they are definitely the least fun meal of the day.
love the colors here!! i’m really trying to make my meals a full experience that i’m craving–bright colors, delicious tastes, fun textures–so i bookmarked this! lately i’m loving this lentil dish with sweet onions.
I love lentils! I always forget about them…so thanks for the reminder!
Which lunch are we talking about?? Lunch #1, 2 or 3?
I’m so stealing this. FINGERLINGGG.
Do I just love you or what?! I went through a fingerling potato obsession stage myself and this just reminds me that it’s about time to bring it back! My lunches lately have been so boring it’s actually painful. I need to do something about it asap.
Have some FINGERLINGS.
Love youuuuu.
I’m also having a potato “problem” lately (February always seems to be a “comfort foods” month for me), and one of my favorite things to do is make potato nachos…which is just what it sounds like. Roast up a mix of fingerlings/yukon golds/baby red potatoes, dump ‘em on top of a bed of your favorite greens, and then cover with seasoned black beans (preferably mixed with a bit of corn), salsa, chopped tomato, avocado, black olives, jalapenos, plain yogurt, hot sauce, etc…it’s so much more satisfying to me than the usual tortilla chips.
Now I wish I had nachos for breakfast.
Are fingerling also called banana potatoes? Cause I sell banana potatoes, they look just like that and they are freaking delicious. And I love me some mustard greens, I can’t believe how strong the flavour is – awsome!!
No way?! I’ve never ever heard of that…where do you live that they are called that?! I’m guessing not the US because of how you spelled “flavour”…? Love learning new things like that.
Haha yeah I guess that’ll give it away! I’m in Canada, Land of Banana Potatoes apparently =)
Now I’ll know what to say when I visit Canada someday!
We’ve been eating a lot of fingerling potatoes lately too. Ours are much thinner and smaller though that your photograph. I roast them with garlic, olive oil, and sea salt. The other night we had them with grilled salmon and spinach salad with goat cheese dressing.
Love how you have yours on top of greens. Yum!
I’m especially obsessed with spinach salads lately. Guess it could be worse!
we;ve been on a potato kick here in NZ. steamed, mashed, and oh so good with eggs on top. Yes!
Dear Katie,
Thank you for taking real photos. And for sharing real photos.
I appreciate your genuine spirit and your honest work.
That is all for today.
Yours truly, Jasper Naomi
Thanks for your kind words, Jasper!
Yum! I had a delicious salad a few months ago that included fingerling potatoes and hard boiled egg, and it was crazy tasty. If you come visit DC, I’ll take ya there!
Yes please! I’ve never been there, I’d LOVE to visit!
I am eating the Sunshine in a Bowl salad all the time because of your earlier posts!
If mustard greens really taste like mustard, I am about to start eating them by the bucket-full! I usually smother my kale (and, ummm, everything else) in dijon mustard.
Very subtle, but YES…they definitely taste like mustard!
I love fingerlings too. They get so soft and creamy.
I have never met a potato I didn’t like. Lately my lunch is an english muffin toasted, each side slathered with homemade hummus, then topped with roasted peppers and onions. I seriously cannot get enough. I am planning this year’s garden and have to keep reminding myself to not go too overboard and end up with too many peppers. But is there really such a thing?
Sort of like a little pizza…I love it!
Katie! You are totally going to be excessively beautiful and youthful right into old age eating so many veggies. That is such a ‘my mom lunch’ and she is now 72 and looks about 50 AND teaches yoga – this is her!

(Sorry -its probably really bad form to link but I just had to show her off! Sadly, I look totally like my dad and cant ever have just veggies for lunch… I love fresh new potatoes though!)
WHat?! She’s 72?! She is so beautiful! But so are you, my dear…you look a lot like her!
