Basil Pan Potatoes

- 2-3 red potatoes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 sliced green onions
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)

Wash and cut the potatoes coarsely, and set aside.  Heat oil and butter on medium, and add potatoes, salt, and pepper to taste.  Cook for 5-10 minutes or until brown and tender, stirring often.  Add onion and cook until tender (3 minutes or so).  Place mixture in a bowl and stir in fresh basil.  

Roast Beef with Basil

Rub the meat thoroughly with half the fresh basil leaves, crushed.  Heat the oil and brown the roast on all sides in a Dutch oven.  Cover meat with water, and stir in dry onion soup mix.  Sprinkle in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
