Soy Glazed Fingerling Potatoes with Wasabi Aioli

November 18, 2021

Bring your local, organic potatoes to new heights with a few Japanese ingredients. These crispy potatoes are glazed in soy sauce and lemon juice for a roasted umami flavor. It’s then paired with a light and airy aioli with a bright burst of wasabi! (The aioli technique was adapted from Chef Michael Symon)

Wasabi Aioli:

1. In a large bowl, whisk egg yolk, lemon juice, and wasabi paste until smooth.
2. While whisking, add a few drops of oil. (If your bowl is not flat at the bottom, place a rolled towel or pot holder underneath so you can use your hands to drizzle and whisk)
3. Continue whisking and slowly stream in the remaining oil until you have a thick consistency. Mix in MSG, salt, and pepper to taste.
4. Place in a container and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
