Lynn, any of the typical Hungarian/Slovak sides done as
fozolek would work. But, from the South, may I suggest
butter beans? // I make German mashed potatoes, i.e.
boiled potato chunks, tossed in a wok/pot with bacon
drippings, and then with addition of butter and vinegar.
They will disintegrate into mashed potatoes, but not
like we're used to.

Make sure you get the potato toasties off the side of the
pan, as there is so much flavor there. Use lots of parsley,
and don't stint on garlic.
