I have a daughter who loves potatoes. She loves them in any way shape and form. Kugel, roasted mashed I need to make every Shabbos or I guess off with my head. In our house I guess you call them shalom bayis foods. For me it’s roasted eggplant and techina and for her it’s all about the potatoes. I need to get really creative for her because I get bored easily and I need to keep changing things up. I kind of got the inspiration for this from the beef fry wrapped dates. I said if we can do this to dates why not a potato. I found perfect mini fingerling potatoes that just pop in your mouth and I thought these would be perfect to wrap beef fry around. I boiled them for about 7 minutes until there were just cooked through but not falling apart. I then dried them and coated them with a little oil salt pepper and garlic powder. I wrapped the beef fry around each potato. I found I needed 2 packages of Meal Mart beef fry for the one pound of fingerling potatoes. I wrapped the beef fry around them and baked 350 for about 25 min until fat was rendered and the beef fry was crispy and potatoes cooked through. I then added a brush or maple syrup just for that added salty sweet factor and then preceded to eat the entire tray. I hope you enjoy!
