Improvisational Potatoes with Apple, Peach and Cilantro
This recipe developed on the fly for a final vacation meal. It was orignally supposed to be some fried potatoes, but it drifted a bit. There were no spices save salt and pepper in the kitchenette, so we picked up some garlic and cilantro at a roadside stand. There were also some very nice peaches and apples that we got as well. The dairy products were refugees from the breakfast bar that were aquired earlier in the day. Just goes to show what you can do with some random ingredients.
