Make extra for leftovers of this delicious side dish
Here it is!!! An absolutely delicious potato side dish. But please, fair warning… make sure you prepare some extra because in my home I never, ever have any left overs of this wonderful potato accompaniment.
If you want to use baby potatoes instead, there’s no need to peel them. Just cut them in halves or quarters depending on the size you like and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
This dish, which is excerpted from Aglaia Kremezi’s book The Foods of the Greek Islands, is sure to enhance any meat or fish entree. Or you can serve this by itself with a small salad… It’s so easy to prepare, no fuss… just pure goodness.
