NEW POTATOES
There were no refrigerators or freezers when I grew up, so we were eager to taste those first fresh vegetables from the garden-especially when served with our favorite Sunday dinner. Among the pork chops, fresh asparagus and rhubarb pie, these new potatoes, showered with freshly picked parsley, were a standout. -Marilyn Kutzli, Preston, Iowa

Steps:
- Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry, I suppose, since you are stirring and frying, for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp, tender, and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.
- At this point, you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt, or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste, and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender, probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth, clearly you see which way to go here.

Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, wash and chop all of your vegetables. This will save you time and hassle when you're trying to get dinner on the table.
- Use fresh, seasonal produce: When you can, use fresh, seasonal vegetables in your skillet recipes. This will give your dishes the best flavor and nutrition.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: When you're cooking vegetables in a skillet, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the vegetables from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam rather than brown.
- Season your vegetables: Don't forget to season your vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Cook your vegetables over medium heat: Most vegetables should be cooked over medium heat. This will help them to cook evenly without burning.
Conclusion:
Skillet recipes are a great way to get a quick and healthy meal on the table. They're also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning, you can create delicious and nutritious skillet recipes that the whole family will love.
