My Mom's Beef Brisket
Greasy beef, the way it should be. Potatoes were excellent, could have benefit with a fresh salad insead if the other roof vegetables tho. A little vinegarette would go a long way to balance this meal

Meat and Potatoes… cant go wrong. Onions were a bit acidic. Would have preferred just a regular sauté.
