    Recipe Introduction


    The Scottish word "stovies" supposedly derives from the French
    "etouffer," to "smother" or cook in a closed vessel. It is one of
    the many ways the Scots treat onions and potatoes, a natural and
    inexpensive combination that is found in the rustic cooking of many
    parts of the world.

    List of Ingredients




    Scottish - Stovies

    2-4 slices bacon, chopped
    1 large onion, sliced
    2 lbs (900 g) potatoes, peeled and sliced
    About 1 cup (250 ml) water
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    Chopped chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

    Saute the bacon in a large heavy pot over moderate heat until it
    begins to render some fat. Add the onion and saute until tender but
    not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, salt, pepper, and
    water to a depth of about 1/2 inch (1 cm). Simmer tightly covered
    over low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally and adding a little
    water if necessary to keep the potatoes from sticking to the bottom
    of the pot. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired. Serves 4 to 6.
