Mustard Potatoes (serves 6)

Ingredients:

2lb [910g] potatoes

generous pinch of salt and pepper

1-2 Tbsp grease of your choice (tri-tip tallow)

2 Tbsp of Dijon mustard (can also use French's)

Instructions:

In a medium pot, boil potatoes. Start with cold water. Scrub, peel is optional. Can cut into chunks if potato is big.

Bring to boil, cook like 15 minutes.

Add about 1-2 tablespoon of fat of your choice (bacon grease, steak drippings, butter, olive oil, etc), salt/pepper, and 2 tablespoons of mustard. Stir.

Optional - Transfer to a gratin dish and roast in oven until they are browned and crispy around the edges and tender inside - 15-30 min.

Notes:

Potatoes are a good texture, reminds me of the fingerling potato salad from Whole Foods, but without all the added mayo.

Add less fat and more mustard.

I didn't roast them in a gratin dish but that would be good.

Fat from the tri-tip and it tasted like steak.

Served with roasted tri-tip and a caesar salad with cornbread breadcrumb croutons.

Definitely boiled them too long this time, left on too high a heat and unattended
