This is an attractive dish to serve with brunch. Along with these potatoes I served Brats, scrambled eggs, fresh sliced tomatoes, sweet onion sliced, toast & of course coffee, started off with warm grapefruit halves topped with a drop of cognac. I used yellow, green and red peppers added 2 Jalapenos and some garlic. After I peel & cube the potatoes I put them in water to remove some of the startch ensuring they will not discolor while cooking . I like this recipe because you can get it right down to the final step let it rest for 1/2 hour or so `and just do the final heating 5 minutes before serving Thanks Bev for a winner
