quinoa and potatoes

This is a recipe that I completely made up one night as I was trying to put dinner together. I started out with a plan, but things just didn't work out how I wanted. I ended up with this, and I was skeptical of how it would taste. Lo and behold, it was really, really good. I was so surprised. Chef Jeff loves it and it is a regular around our house.
