Potatoes De Georgia

Submitted by Pierre Dance

"This one is so simple and easy it's almost embarrassing. It comes from Georgia, not the one in the southern US but the one south of Russia. A very common spice blend of the region is called Svaneti Salt. It is used in all manner of soups and stews. It is a rub for every sort of roasted meat, beef, pork, lamb, goat, chicken, fish, what have you. It changes simple vegetable dishes into works of art. www.worldspice.com sells the blend. Give it a shot, you won't regret it!"
