Today I'm talking with seasoned meat expert Barry Pittman (my dad!). We talk about his 24-year career as a federal meat inspector and how his family's restaurant business included a deli counter with house-roasted meats. The recipe he tells us about is a hearty one-dish wonder that transforms ordinary scalloped potatoes into a complete meal with a secret pre-cooking technique that ensures perfectly tender results every time!
