Equipment

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 ½ pounds fingerling potatoes
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil or similar
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 slices prosciutto Note 1
  • chives chopped

Mayonnaise

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill and grill pan over medium heat. (Note 2)
  • Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. In a bowl, toss the potatoes with oil. Add the smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, and toss to coat. (Note 3)
  • Put the potatoes on the grill pan in a single layer. Grill for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through until potatoes are golden brown and tender.
  • Meanwhile, preheat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced prosciutto and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Cool and crumble. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, smoked paprika, and vinegar. Stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange the potatoes on a platter. Top with crispy prosciutto and chopped chives. Serve with the mayonnaise.

Notes

  1.  Prosciutto is often sold in 3-4 ounce packages which is more than needed for this recipe.  Cook the whole package and keep the extra to add to salads or scrambled eggs.
  2. A grill pan has a perforated design that prevents small items from falling through the grates of the grill.  Alternatively, a cooling rack can also be used.
  3. The potatoes do not need to be cooking before grilling.  Fingerlings are small and cutting them in half lengthwise is all that's needed to ensure they cook evenly.
