Braised Potatoes
"Found in an old magazine. This is a great recipe - that is a terrific side or a meal in itself. To re-heat, don't microwave, but reheat in the frypan after cooking meat, etc., so that it picks up some of the flavours. This is also great when made part of scrambled eggs!"

Prepared for Australia/NZ Swap #19, for my adopted joey. This was VERY tasty, and complemented the baked chicken and fresh chard we had for dinner. DH could pick up the aroma of the sauted onions and bacon LONG before I had the rest put together. I thought I had some frozen mixed veggies, but alas, 'twas only peas -- but turned out fine. Thanks, Madilayn, for a lovely side recipe. Hope you fill in your info on the About Me page so we can all learn more about you.
