ReplyDeleteAs for the potatoes, I follow the show, remove skin of potatoes then boil till it cook thru, then pan fry it gently with some oil and herbs, then bake in oven till the outer layer turns brown...the potatoes turn out nice too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the tips on the potatoes as well, I was wondering what are those because I couldn't match any items you mentioned in your recipe to it, hahah...Now I know :)
