Red Potato Bites

Red Potato Bites

12 baby red potatoes, cleaned and halved

Water (for boiling)

2 ea. Bay Leaf, dried for potato water

Sea salt*

1 Tbsp OT French Blend*

1 tsp OT Manhattan Rub*

Crème fraiche

1 Tbsp Chopped chives, dill, and/or parsley

Drizzle of OT Olive Oil* of choice

Place potatoes in a saucepan with water, salt and bay leaf, enough water to cover the potatoes. Simmer over medium-high heat for 12-15 minutes until tender in center. Drain potatoes and cut a thin slice off of each potato bottom so they sit flat, and scoop out a portion of the top to fill with the cream mixture. Place on a platter and set aside to cool.

In a small mixing bowl blend the OT blend with the cream. Top each potato with the cream mixture and sprinkle with the Manhattan Rub and fresh herbs. Drizzle with olive oil of choice and serve immediately. Pairs nice with a slice of prosciutto.
