My Love can't resist a Buy Two for One offer. So this lead to me having a glut of new potatoes last weekend. Not the worse thing to have a glut of, I know. But after I had made the Turkish Style Aubergine & New Potato dish and used them in a few soup recipes...I still had a good pile of them. So I turned to a cookbook I love and often turn to when I potatoes to use up and wasn't let down this time either. Linda Majzlik's wonderful cook book A Vegan Taste of Eastern Europe.

This recipe I found in the Accompaniments section. I know Linda expected it to be a side dish but (with the potato mountain sat on kitchen side! lol) I felt it could easily serve as a main dish. Thankfully we love new potatoes lol. It was a very simple recipe and came together very easily. The results were succulent potatoes in a not too rich, spicy sauce. I would maybe take off the foil lid for a further 5-10 minutes next time for a slight crispiness on them. 

My Love offered to take the photo for this as I was fading a little come dinner time. So thank you...
