Love the title "Russian Bananas" which in fact has nothing to do with actual fruits!

Definitely sounds far superior to the famous British concoction, alternative bananas during WW II rationing period (technically parsnip cooked in sugared water with yellow food colouring and banana essence added).

Come to think of it, people in carribean cook plantains/cooking banans like potatoes into chips and crisps...

I do similar, but I keep the potatoes whole if they are smaller fingerlings. It's also great tossed with fresh crushed garlic before roasting. Yummy!

I like this garlic idea. Can you be specific about the steps?

Sure Smile

Preheat oven to 400f. Scrub fingerling potatoes clean, and dry. If they're very small, you can keep them whole, otherwise slice in half or thirds.

Crush fresh garlic- I would estimate 3-5 medium cloves for a 1 lb bag of potatoes. Toss potatoes with olive oil to coat, garlic, kosher salt, black pepper, and parsley.

Line jellyroll pan with parchment paper and spread potatoes in single layer. Bake until crispy outside and soft inside (fork should easily slide through largest potato). Add more kosher salt if needed.
