Heat a pan and add a little bit of extra virgin olive oil from Spain.

Prepare the aioli by mixing lemon juice, garlic, egg yolks, and mustard in a blender or food processor.

Slowly drizzle in olive oil while emulsifying until it reaches a mayonnaise consistency. If it gets too thick, add a dash of water.

Par boil fingerling potatoes about 90% of the way, ensuring they are soft but not squishy.

In batches, add the par boiled potatoes to the hot oil in the pan without overcrowding.

Cook the potatoes for about 5 to 10 minutes until they are golden brown on all sides.

At the end of cooking, add fresh rosemary to the potatoes for fragrance.

Season the potatoes with cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, and sea salt (Maldon salt or kosher salt).

Drain the potatoes on a paper towel and serve with toothpicks.
