FFwD: Broth-Braised Potatoes
Have you ever had one of those weeks that was just blah? Well, that is my week, so I was really happy that today's recipe was simple, easy, and I already had all the ingredients. Especially since I did not even realize it was Friday until lunchtime. So, I made these potatoes to go with my leftover steak for lunch. I used Thyme and some Yukons that I already had. The broth gave the potatoes a good flavor and I like the idea of braising them, I foresee some experiments with spices coming!
Really looking forward to next weeks recipe!!

Oo, when you said "spices," curry immediately jumped to mind!
ReplyDeleteCurry would definitely be good!
DeleteThat looks like a pretty good weekday lunch :-)
ReplyDeleteYum
Thanks! I was pretty yummy!
DeleteI would definitely experiment with stronger spice flavors! My potatoes turns out a little bland.
ReplyDeleteYeah, mine did not have too strong of a flavor either, but I did like them.
DeleteYour lunch looks delicious! We'll be having these potatoes often.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yeah, I enjoyed how quick and easy it was to do these potatoes!
DeleteSo you're soaking some potatoes in the broth overnight too? That sounds like a great idea to get more flavour into the spuds. I'll be interest to know how you like them tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteI stored my leftover potatoes in the cooking broth so that more flavor would imbibe, so we will see how they are tomorrow!
DeleteI thought the broth needed a little extra something to kick it up a notch, but I'm not
ReplyDeletesure what it would be. It's fun to try new recipes, and although it wasn't Tricia and
my favorite, I'm glad we at least tried it. That's a good looking lunch plate.
Thanks! Yeah, I liked them, but they were not amazing. Very easy though!
DeleteMMmm green beans with the potatoes sound great!!
ReplyDeleteThey were very yummy!
DeleteYour lunch looks great! I liked these too - and I think it would be fun to add some other things into the mix - I'm thinking some Thai yellow curry... you've got me thinking!!! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The idea is floating around in my head about the other spices, not sure what I am going to try first!
DeleteWhat a great lunch! I liked these potatoes. Especially how easy they were to make at the end of a long tiring day.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, these were great, super easy!
DeleteI have a lot of those weeks - I know what you mean. That lunch looks quite tasty. I used the leftover potatoes with a steak salad and they were good the second day. I thought that it was a good method to spice up potatoes to your liking. Hope you experiment with them and let us know how you like them with spices!
ReplyDeleteYum, steak salad! I tried the leftovers mixed with some eggs, spinach, and feta for breakfast this morning and they were pretty good!
DeleteWow - can't believe you knocked that out for lunch ! One mighty nice looking lunch :) We enjoyed these way more in frittata form and I am embarrassed to say how quickly my family wolfed down Nana's frittata....it is like I never feed them :) They at least get fed on French Fridays.....
