Mark - From dinner a couple of nights ago.

Had some left over red potatoes from making potato salad
over the weekend. Cubed potatoes and boiled until just
beginning to soften. As potatoes boiled, put some olive oil
and butter in a frying pan at low heat, gently cooked a
couple of cloves of garlic and some red onion in the mix.
Keep heat low enough to not discolor garlic. Added potatoes,
upped the heat and added salt, pepper and fresh chopped
dill. Cook until potatoes get a nice crust. Put 'em on a
plate in a warm oven.

Chopped up some left over smoked pork shoulder. Sauteed in
the same pan as the potatoes, added 3 scrambled eggs, made a
small omelette. Added potatoes, sour cream and cheese to the
omelette, melt cheese and enjoy.

Took all of about 20 minutes to prep and cook.

If you're planning to do an all day cook in the crockpot,
I'd leave the potatoes whole

Its not a crock pot recipe, but one of my favorite ways to
cook those red potatoes is to wash them, then quarter them,
then fry them with a little olive oil and canola oil and
sprinkle the pototoes with paprika, pepper, and garlic
powder. They go well with lots of main dishes.

Potatoes usually take 20-30 minutes to cook so I wouldn't
put them in a crock pot.

Try cutting them in cubes after they have cooked for abou 15
minutes and add them to a skillet with sliced smoked
sausage, cut up onions, and peppers. Add about 1/4 cup water
or white wine and cover the skillet, stirring occasionally
until potatoes and peppers are tender.

Serve with a salad and crusty bread.

You'll have a lot left over, but it reheats very well.

How about scalloped potatoes with say ham and cheese added?
Probably doable in a crock pot.

Yes, I could have done that, but I thought I would ask here
because I love this group and help keep it active. I will
say, however, that your recipe below sounds really good, as
do the other responses!

Thanks everyone, so much! Mark

Sounds really good. I hate to admit it, but I would not have
a lot left over. I love food and it shows!!!
