sufficiently cooked, remove them with a slotted spoon to a serving dish and

thickened. Stir in the mustard and parsley or basil, then remove from the heat

and pour over the potatoes. 2 to 3 servings

 

Variation: Once the sauce has reduced, stir in 2 tablespooons nonfat yogurt to

make a creamier dressing.

acidic sauce of vinegar and wine. "
