Russian Banana Fingerlings

The Only Bananas at Market

Posted by Lori

One of the best known and most popular fingerling varieties, these tubers have a firm waxy texture that holds up well when boiled making them perfect for salads and soups. Roasting Russian banana fingerlings, whole or sliced, is a great way to showcase their delicate flavor. 

Storage

Try to keep potatoes in a mildly cool, dark and dry place - most of us put our spuds in paper bags away in cupboards because too much sunlight turns them green and bitter and too much moisture causes their delicate skin to rot.

Nutrition

Atkins-fear-not! Potatoes are an important source of complex carbohydrates {think of replacing that sourdough roll with a potato}, low in sodium and fat and high in potassium, minerals, fiber and vitamins C and B6.
