This is from super natural cooking by heidi swanson. I love to make this on the week end and take leftovers for lunch. I often substitute pine nuts for walnuts. Her recipes are at www.101cookbooks.com

Warm a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat , then add the potatoes and a couple pinches of salt.
