This may be my new go-to potato preparation. In fairness, I cheated quite a bit - using larger gold potatoes instead of new potatoes, and then (inspired by a different page on Pioneer Woman Cooks) microwaving them instead of boiling them. The end result was an amazing cross of creamy and crusty potato - almost like the top of a shepherd's pie. Obviously, your mileage will vary with a waxier or less cooked potato; probably a minute less in the microwave would have been closer to the recipe. Still, high marks for introducing me to a revelatory technique.

A quick and easy recipe for pan-fried round steak - which is a nice find, because I've got quite a bit of it in the freezer. The recipe is simple - tenderize round steak (or buy cube steak cutlets at the market), dredge in seasoned flour, pan-fry quickly. It's basic and pleasant; I felt the timing was a little short but perhaps my oil wasn't hot enough (or was too deep).
Some of the comments on the web site suggest a cream gravy, which would be traditional for this preparation. But my wife and I wanted something closer to steak sauce; I found just a good hit of Worcestershire worked.
