old fashioned stewed taters n' onions
I grew up with stewed potatoes. Mom usually had them with pinto beans and a side of cornbread. This recipe isn't precise because it's one of those handed down from mom to daughter recipes. It's hard to tell how old this is. My mom told me how to make it and I'm sure her mom told her, and so on. These "taters n' onions" as we grew up calling them are delicious served with most meats and vegetables. I serve them with fried chicken, barbecue, or whatever we like. It's been a favorite for many years in my family and I hope will be in yours, too.
