I know I veered off the traditional route, but it still does taste very much like some of the ones I tried in Peru.<br /><br />I have to mention, though, your soggy potatoes would have fit right in with the ones in Peru. I ate lomo saltado over half a dozen dimes in Peru, at different places, and every one of them had soggy potatoes. Nothing piled on top and nothing like the way I presented. Some of them were so bland, as well. a few of the cooks over there are challenged in the flavour department, I tell you!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the mention!!John | heneedsfoodhttp://heneedsfood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2107692602665196400.post-81799870183039518782017-08-30T09:56:30.684-04:002017-08-30T09:56:30.684-04:00I wonder if it would be good with tofu, Emma?
