Potatoes, Chard, Smoked Albacore

Really tasty dinner last night. The albacore was from the co-op. It was a little dry, I'm used to smoked salmon, but it was still quite good. The potatoes were from the garden, french fingerling potatoes. Lately I've been cooking/using chard stems as an onion replacement for body in dishes. That's the way I visualize them anyway, seems to be working -- cause normally I'm not a huge fan of chard. But free/homegrown food is free/homegrown food.... I cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, cutting along the wider axis (the potato cross sections were oval rather than circular) to maximize cut surface area. Artichoke oil/garlic then the chard stems. Then move that aside and the potatoes cut side down, on the bottom of the pan. Don't touch them for 10 min. Then I flipped them, threw the chard leaves on top, and covered the pan for 5 minutes or so. DELICIOUS. Potatoes were super sweet in that new potato way, contrasted well with the smoked albacore tuna.
