Kathleen's Potatoes Pascal
Kathleen Sooy of Richmond, Virginia, writes: "On a visit to Pascal's restaurant, in Newport Beach, California, I enjoyed a wonderful grilled sea bass. What really caught my attention, though, were the luscious, creamy potatoes served on the side. The maître d' kindly shared the very simple ingredients with me, and I worked out the rest by trial and error back home. I have served this dish many times since then, always to rave reviews. "
