Asparagus-New Potato Hash

Mom brought this recipe from Southern Living magazine and made it as a side dish with steaks.  It was DELICIOUS!  :)

Serves 8
Ingredients:

1 lb small red potatoes
1 lb fresh asparagus
2 shallots, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tsp chopped fresh thyme
1 Tsp salt
1/2 Tsp pepper
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/3 Cup crumbled fresh farmer's cheese (we used crumbled goat cheese)
Garnish:  lemon slices

Method:

1.  Bring potatoes and salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.  Cook 15 minutes or just until tender.  Drain well.  Cool 15 minutes and cut into quarters.

2.  Snap off and discard tough ends of asparagus.  Cut asparagus into 1/2 inch pieces. 

3.  Saute shallots in hot oil in a large non-stick skillet 1 minute.  Add asparagus, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Saute 2-3 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender.  Add potatoes, and saute 3 minutes or until mixture is thoroghly heated.  Remove from heat and sprinkle with cheese.  Garnish with lemon slices.

***We put it in the fridge and served it cold like a potato salad.  It was delicious ***
