I recently stopped at my favorite produce farm,
Nicolet Farms to see what was available.
What I found were these Russian Banana Fingerling Potatoes.

Fingerling potatoes cook up super fast,
which makes them the ideal side dish for
a hurry up week day meal.

What are Russian Banana Fingerling Potatoes?
A fingerling potato is a small, stubby finger-shaped type of potato,
which may be of any heritage potato cultivars.
Fingerling potatoes are available year round.

The Russian Banana Fingerling potato is a perennial fingerling late season producing variety.
Small in size and shaped similar to a banana, hence the name,
fingerlings are fully mature when harvested.

which typically measures 2-3 inches long.
Russian Banana Fingerling potato has a thin pale burlap colored skin
with a creamy yellow-colored firm and waxy flesh.
It has a mild, earthy and nutty flavor.
