儿时的记忆--肉碎马铃薯 Potato and Minced Meat Stew
昨天午饭时做了这道菜，二弟吃了就说，有阿嬤做的味道哦！
Potato with minced meat is a typical dish for most Chinese family in Malaysia. There may be different variations of this dish in different families. Some like the potato cubed, some like it in sticks. In our house, it is always thickly sliced.
I made this for lunch yesterday and my brother who is visiting says it tasted just the way grandma used to made it.
