Healthier Potato Panache
This is a colourful and zesty way to serve potatoes at holiday dinners (and offers more vegetable variety than traditional scalloped potatoes). I discovered this dish one summer in Italy and it has been a favourite ever since. If you add the potatoes warm to the sautéed vegetables, they’ll absorb the flavours and improve the finished dish.
