October 7 - A Real Dutch Steak

Potatoes is a Dutch staple as rice is to a Filipino.

I appreciate the way the potatoes are "fried" the Dutch way. They are cooked in butter and taste really sweet and creamy.

As for Dutch steaks, they are simply seasoned with salt and pepper and also fried in butter.
