Braised Potatoes

Recipe #303085 | 45 min | 15 min prep | 4 -6 as a side dish (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Madilayn

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!
