Simple meal plans: Follow the Book #3

Red Taters and Green Grannies
From Simply in Season
(Which is the primary cookbook source for meal plans for a while...)
Here's the low down...

Wash your taters and grannies.
(Granny Smiths, that is)

Julienne the taters and thinly slice the grannies.

Chop an onion and saute in a little oil.
I am experimenting with coconut oil. It sure smells nice and it doesn't smoke.


Add the taters and grannies to the pan.  Stir them and saute for a bit.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Add a tiny bit of water to the pan to prevent sticking.
Cover and let cook for about 15 minutes til tender.

Put 1/2 to a cup of sharp cheddar on top.
Place under the broiler til bubbly.

A note about this SIS recipe.  It was good. Comfort food.  We liked the tartness of the apples with the potatoes.  Once again, it needed a tiny bit of oomph.  I think if I'd used extra sharp cheddar that would have done the trick.  I'm really happy with the recipe but will remember to use a sharper, better cheese next time.

We ate this with pan-fried lemon pepper salmon and homemade bread.

Yum.  Yum.  Yum.
