There's nothing special about potatoes with garlic, I've tried it and
didn't like it, the garlic ruins perfectly good spuds. I prefer
boiled potatoes with fresh dill weed and plain yogurt, and occasionaly
boiled spuds with creamed herring and onion...to make them world class
takes a bottle of schnaps, okay, a small glusiluh for sipping...
glusiluh is Ruske yiddish for a small orange juice glass. My father
being from the Baltics (Riga) read and spoke Yiddish-Russian fluently
.... my mom being from Baltimore could understand and speak some
Yiddish and Russian. My father was a very tough man, mean to us kids,
sort of Kruschev-like, he was a gymnast. She once told me that she
married him for his huge penis, not in so many words but later I
figgured it out.
