BAKED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM BUTTER

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the potatoes with the oil, lemon juice and pepper in a medium bowl; season liberally with salt. Spread the potatoes on a baking sheet and bake until tender and the skins start to loosen from the insides, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the butter, sour cream and lemon zest with a wooden spoon. Season with some salt and pepper.
• When the potatoes are done, use a fork slice to slice halfway through the potatoes lengthwise, and push the ends together. This will make the insides fluff up. Top each potato with some sour cream butter and a 1/2 teaspoon or so of caviar and chives, and serve hot. (You can also cool the potatoes slightly before topping¿the sour cream butter won't melt¿They are delicious both ways!)

BRAISED FINGERLING POTATOES WITH THYME & BUTTER

Steps:

• Leave the potatoes whole if less than 1 inch in diameter; halve them lengthwise if fatter. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer in a 12-inch skillet. They will be crowded, but they shouldn't be stacked. Tuck the thyme sprigs between the potatoes. Cut 3 Tbs. of the butter into 3 pieces. Add the butter, 3/4 tsp. salt, and a few generous grinds of pepper to the potatoes. Pour over just enough water to almost cover the potatoes (about 2 cups). Partially cover and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Simmer, stirring gently once or twice, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a skewer, about 25 minutes. (If the water threatens to dry up before the potatoes are tender, add another 1/2 cup.) Transfer the potatoes to a serving dish with a slotted spoon. Increase the heat to high and boil the remaining liquid, uncovered, until it's reduced to a buttery glaze, 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the amount of liquid. Remove the thyme sprigs (most of the leaves will have fallen off). If you would like a richer sauce, swirl in the remaining 1 Tbs. butter. Pour the glaze over the potatoes and serve immediately.
