Chef Jose Garces of Philadelphia taught us how to fold truffle oil into rustic, skin-on smashed fingerlings (already enriched with butter and cream) to make them even more irresistible. The oil adds a deep, earthy flavor that perfectly complements potatoes—great with a strong cocktail like our Old Fashioned recipe.

Instructions
- 1Place potatoes in a large pot, add water to cover the potatoes by 2 inches, salt well (the water should taste like seawater), and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer potatoes until fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- 2Drain potatoes, return to the pot along with butter, and cook over low heat until butter is melted. Using a hand-held potato masher, smash potatoes until butter is incorporated, leaving some lumps. Add cream, truffle oil, salt, and pepper and fold together. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
