Recipe: Fall Farm Feast of Potatoes and Stewed Tomatoes

Summary: This recipe is more for a warm meal on an early Fall night. Fresh potatoes and some of the last of the tomatoes make this a delicious seasonal treat.

Ingredients

• For the potatoes: 1-2# fresh potatoes, 3-4T butter, 2 cloves fresh garlic, salt, pepper


• For the stewed tomatoes: several large late season tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 chopped bell pepper, 1 chopped yellow onion, 6 drops of olive oil, salt and fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. For the potatoes:
   
   
   
   1. Remove any small blemishes or large eyes from the potatoes but do not peel.
   
   
   2. Bake potatoes in an oven at 350 until a fork inserted into the middle goes in easily.
   
   
   3. Remove and let cool until they can be handled. When you can pick them up - cut into slices about 1/2" thick.
   
   
   4. Place into a fry pan with the butter already melted.
   
   
   5. Add salt and pepper - stirring occasionally until the potatoes begin to become golden brown - at that point add crushed garlic (and more butter) and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
   
   
   6. Remove from heat when potatoes are browned and before the crushed garlic burns.
   
   
   
   


2. For the stewed tomatoes:
   
   
   
   1. Chop onion, pepper and garlic - add to sauce pan with very little oil and cook until the oil is gone.
   
   
   2. Before the veggies start to burn add tomatoes that have been chopped into large 1/2" chunks and bring to a simmer.
   
   
   3. Cook until you are ready - yeah - that makes little sense... but some people like this really cooked - some like it really raw. Either way is great.
   
   
   
   

Variations

There are really lots of ways to enjoy these recipes - but we love them together... the stewed tomatoes over the fresh potatoes. Simple and super seasonal!

If that's not your thing the potato part is really an awesome home-fry recipe for a hearty breakfast and the tomatoes make a great warm side dish...  chill and food process for an awesome gazpacho.
