This time, nice and easy...Potato Cakes with Pancetta and Cheese.
Pancetta, cooked crisp. Potatoes (cooked and cooled), grated and formed into patties, cooked in the same pan (with some oil and, of course, butter!), till golden on each side. Top potato cakes with pancetta and sliced Gruyere; cover and let the cheese melt...
I served the spuds with some fried eggs, and roasted garlic bread, toasted. We always did enjoy breakfast for dinner...

- Excellent Veggie Fare
In the April issue of Vegetarian Times, I found a recipe for Potato Quesadillas. It seemed very simple, so I gave it a try. Potatoes and onions are cooked up, with a few spices. Once potatoes are cooked, heat a tortilla in a frying pan. Add shredded...
