Patates Yiahni - Greek Potatoes

I found this recipe here: http://greekfood.about.com/od/vegetablerecipes/r/patates_yahni.htm
Oh man, do I love me some Greek and Mediterranean food!

I like this serving this with a side of crusty bread with almond cheese melted on top. Yummy!

This meatless main dish is simple and easy, and a favorite for those cold, blustery days. Serve with crusty bread for the sauce and a side of feta cheese. Add a seasonal salad for a more substantial meal.
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2/3 cup of olive oil
* 2 medium onions, diced
* 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
* 2 1/4 - 2 3/4 pounds of potatoes, peeled and cut in large chunks
* 1 cup of grated fresh tomatoes
* 1/2 tablespoon of tomato paste
* 1 bunch of fresh parsley, finely chopped
* 2 teaspoons of salt
* 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
* 6-8 cups of water

Preparation:

Sauté the onion and garlic in hot olive oil. When the onion is very soft (but not browned), stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, and parsley and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes, salt, and pepper. Add the water slowly, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook for 30 minutes or until potatoes are done.

Yield: serves 6
