Helpful hints
- This is a favorite from the Idle-Not ranch in Colorado.
- Step # 1 instructs on the double boiling method to reduce potassium in potatoes. Skip the double boiling and cook potatoes until tender if a low potassium diet is not required.
- Any type of potato can be substituted for new potatoes.
- Mix it up-- substitute ground deer, chicken or pork for beef.
- Substitute frozen mixed vegetables, frozen green beans, or frozen carrots for peas if desired.
