Nothing particularly fancy, but this simple, quick side dish is good with those breakfast eggs and bacon or sausage. It's just as good served as a side with a hearty, meaty dinner. This dish is pictured here: http://buttoni.wordpress.com/2011/1...on-hash-browns/ I dipped up the entire batch on the plate in the pic and that is actually two servings pictured. I shared with my husband or I'd have never finished it all.

This dish comes very close to tasting like real potatoes. It’s ready in about 15 minutes. This recipe is not suitable until the starchy vegetable rung of the OWL ladder.

INGREDIENTS:

5 oz. peeled and diced rutabaga, ½” dice or smaller
2 oz. chopped onion
1 T. bacon grease
Dash each of salt and black pepper

DIRECTIONS: Heat bacon grease in non-stick skillet and saute chopped onion over high heat until ½ done. Add diced rutabaga to skillet and saute, turning often until rutabaga is fairly tender. This will take about 15 minutes of cooking. Salt and pepper to taste. This goes well with your breakfast eggs, sausage and bacon or makes a lovely side dish for meaty dinners.
