Slacker Foodee

That's me. Slacker. We're moving in a couple months, and I've officially become obsessed with finding our perfect house...a task that seems nearly impossible! As a result, my desire to blog when I have time to sit down has diminished. I didn't even blog about Christmas, and OH BOY did I cook!! So, maybe I'll start with a recipe from then, and add some more later...pace myself!

New Potatoes with Caper Sauce

Ingredients

  • 12 small new potatoes, scrubbed (I used 6 medium red potatoes, cubed)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons capers, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced green onion
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Combine the softened butter, capers, green onion, Parmesan cheese, parsley and vinegar in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. If potatoes are large, cut into halves or quarters. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
  3. Add the caper sauce to the pot of drained potatoes and toss gently to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
These potatoes are FANTASTIC! I served them for Christmas dinner with a standing rib roast, and hmmmm....what was the veggie?? Oh yes, fresh green beans!

More to come later, for all of you avid readers (HA!)
