Adam and Joanne’s Suggestions
- Potato substitutes: You’ll be able to substitute fingerling potatoes with small waxy potatoes like child potatoes (creamers/New Potatoes), Pink Bliss potatoes, or an all-purpose potato like Yukon Gold.
- Garlic: After roasting the entire cloves, we stir the mushy roasted garlic into the dipping sauce. That is non-compulsory however scrumptious!
- Smoked paprika: It provides a deep, smoky aroma and taste. Until famous on the packaging, it isn’t sometimes scorching (spicy). It’s often gentle and a bit candy.
- Onerous boiled egg: It’s non-compulsory, however I like it within the dipping sauce. See how to make hard boiled eggs on the range or our Instant Pot hard boiled eggs.
- Storing the sauce: You can also make the sauce as much as 3 days prematurely. Retailer it in an hermetic container within the fridge.
