Every host or hostess worries about running out of food. Hungry guests are cranky!
To economize, beef up your veggie side dishes into something a little fancier.
Peel a bowl of cherry tomatoes. Dress with sherry vinegar, oil, thyme, honey, and sea salt.
For a second dish, thinly slice 2 lbs of Russet potatoes with a mandolin. Soak in water, pat dry.
Arrange in an overlapping pattern in a buttered frying pan. Drizzle each layer with melted butter.
Cover with foil and bake in a 400F oven for forty minutes. Uncover, brown for 15 minutes.
With a quick flip, turn over and release your elegant, fancy dish onto a platter. Bon appetit!
