Stacy's Notes - found this old recipe from Good Housekeeping magazine. I haven't made this in over 10 years (since before I met Tim, I used to make it for me when I was single), but made it August 2005. I used 2 medium potatoes for us, and made the full amount of vinegar/oil, which was too much. I microwaved the potatoes in a sprayed pyrex dish covered with saran wrap (pulled back one corner to vent), rather than the wax paper. Tossed the spears (which I cut into chunks once they were finished cooking) with the vinegar mixture. Next time, cut back on the vinegar/oil ratio if using fewer potatoes. This is really good warm.
