Stewed Potatoes
Few side dish recipes are as versatile and as easy as this one. My mother always made these potatoes at least once a week when I was a kid and they taste just great! We often had them with salmon cakes but they'll complement just about any main dish. I never see them anywhere else nowadays, either in homes or restaurants, so I thought I'd go ahead and post the recipe here. I think that stewed potatoes must have been a 50s thing. Anyway, make substitutions and/or additions as you wish -- this recipe will tolerate changes pretty much. Some folks add cheese to the mix but I like them just as listed. This is a great, fast side dish for either Thanksgiving or Christmas. Yukon Gold potatoes make the very best ones but any potatoes will do. Enjoy!
