Once I felt like making the vegetable version, but couldn't reach my mom (timezone difference_) and I tried out your version. It was perfect and took me back to those good old days.

For some reason, I feel cooking the potatoes separately gives better taste.But, yes, you can try Mishmash !https://www.blogger.com/profile/18038923718366741085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5382625508268634925.post-73861928658546258632007-11-04T17:26:00.000-05:002007-11-04T17:26:00.000-05:00You can built a life around a potato.
