Name: Steamed Fingerling Potatoes in White Wine
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: Makes 6 servings
Ingredients: 3 pound (2- to 4-inch-long) fingerling potatoes, scrubbed well; 1/3 cup dry white wine; 2 tablespoons olive oil

Fingerlings have a particularly earthy quality that tastes of the essence of potato. Steaming them, rather than boiling, preserves their delicate shape and prevents them from becoming waterlogged, so that the simple dressing really comes through.

Cooks' note:

Potatoes can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
