  5       md           Potatoes
  4       tb           Olive or vegetable oil
  1       md           Onion -- chopped
  2                    Garlic cloves -- minced
  1 1/2   c            Italian plum tomatoes
                       -  drained
  3       tb           Chopped fresh parsley
                       Salt & freshly ground pepper

 Peel, quarter, and soak the potatoes in cold water.  Meanwhile, heat the
 oil in a medium frying pan and saute the onions until soft.  Add the garlic
 and stir in the drained potatoes, stirring over medium heat for a minute.
 Pour in the tomatoes and enough water to almost cover the potatoes, if
 necessary.  Sprinkle in the parsley and season with salt and pepper. Cover
 and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes, then uncover and continue cooking
 over low heat until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is thick, turning
 the potatoes occasionally.  Transfer to a warm bowl and serve warm.
