Ramp Potatoes

In the springtime, I always look forward to making ramp potatoes. If you’ve never had a ramp, you are missing out! A member of the leek family, they have a taste like garlic, onion, and a little something special!

Step: 1

Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beginning to soften, about 10 minutes; drain.

Step: 2

Heat bacon drippings in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir potatoes in the hot drippings until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Stir ramps and bacon with the potatoes; season with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking until the ramps are soft, about 5 minutes.

The most obvious way to pick a side dish is to caught at your main dish (pasta, chicken, seared tofu) and pick something different. When you’re cooking pasta, make sure for a simple healthy dish . Made steak? Go for more light. If you’re want to cooking stir-fry with rice, it must not a good idea to also make a rice salad.

This also can apply to cooking method . You don’t want to push more often your oven by scheduling three dishes at once in there, or be juggling four pans on the stovetop . But often you can make a dish do double-duty .
