Smashed Fingerling Potatoes Recipe

  • 3 pounds red-skinned fingerling or baby red-skinned potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup Béarnaise Butter
  • 1/2 cup (or more) warm whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
  1. Place potatoes in large pot. Add enough water to pot to cover potatoes by 1 inch. Bring to boil; cook potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return potatoes to pot.
  2. Add Béarnaise Butter to potatoes. Using potato masher, coarsely mash potatoes. Add 1/2 cup milk; stir to blend. Add more milk by tablespoonfuls as needed if dry. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Rewarm before serving, adding more warm milk by tablespoonfuls as needed if dry.) Transfer to bowl, sprinkle with tarragon and parsley, and serve.
