Although I pretty much followed the recipe right on down (at least as far as the ingredients were concerned), I did steam the potatoes & used them unpeeled (we like the skins!) & that worked just fine for us! The combo of potato, pasta & onion made for an interesting & very satisfying side dish! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed in Bargain Basement recipe tag]
