Sauteed Potatoes With Apples

Glutton's Note:

Another gem from "Harlem Really Cooks", and is actually a side dish to recipe #298577. It's a refreshing change of pace for those who are tired of applesauce with their pork chops.

• Total Time: 50 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-6

Yield: 6.0

• 2 lbs of peeled white potatoes, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons corn oil
• 4 scallions, chopped, using green and pale parts
• 2 -3 small granny smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Fill large saucepan with cold water; place potatoes in water as you peel them.
2. Bring to a boil over high heat; cook for 15 minutes.
3. Remove from pan, drain and let cool; once cooled, cut into pieces and set aside.
4. Combine the butter and oil in a large skillet over low heat. Once melted, add scallions and potatoes. Saute' until golden brown (approx 8 min.). Use your spatula to scrape up brown bits from potatoes.
5. Add the apples; cover and cook for 2 minutes, shaking the pan constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
6. Remove cover and stir, once again scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for another 5 minutes, until potatoes and apples are tender.
7. Add salt, pepper and place into serving bowl.
8. Serve with pork chops and sauteed Swiss chard.
