    Sometimes you find a recipe where you least expect it. After all what is alpine about thinly slice potatoes, fry in butter with a bit of seasoning of your choice, turn, put cheese on top, fry until bottom is well browned? It's the sort of recipe that one assumes most people have discovered on their own ... at least among the rural population where you have to cook based upon what you have on hand. But this is a recipe with a twist -- adding a small amount of heavy cream. It's not enough to give a scalloped potatoes texture but just enough to cut the potential dryness of the new potatoes. I prefer to add a bit of herbal flavor to my potatoes but I will definitely use the heavy cream in the future as a nod to this recipe.
