Potatoes with Cheese and Tomatoes

This side dish looks and tastes impressive enough to serve to your finest guests and the kids will even eat it too!  The sauce for the potatoes is super easy to make and is a great way to use vine ripened summertime tomatoes!  This recipe comes to us from SimplyRecipes.com.
New Potatoes with Cheese and Tomatoes
8-12 small red skinned new potatoes 1/2 cup whipping cream
2 Tbsp butter 1 Tbsp. finely chopped Cilantro leaves
1 med. yellow onion, finely chopped 1/2 teaspoon oregano leaves
4 large green onions, cut in 1 inch lengths 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large fresh tomatoes, peeled and chopped Salt and Pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Scrub the potatoes; do not peel.  Place the potatoes in a large pan, cover with water and boil, covered, until tender when pierced, about 20 minutes.  Drain and place in a serving container.  Keep warm.
  • Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat.  Add chopped onion and green onions and cook until limp.  Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes.  Stir in the cream, cilantro, oregano, cumin, and salt and pepper to taste.  While stirring, slowly add the cheese and cook until cheese is melted.
  • If potatoes are not small, cut them in halves or quarters.  Spoom the sauce over the potatoes.
  • Serves 4 to 6.
