Blue Ribbon Recipe by

Juet is pronounced like "foot" but with a "J". My great-grandmother brought this recipe from Belgium when she happily graced our shores slightly before the 1900s. She, my grandmother, and my mom loved to make it. My sibs and I even liked it cold and shared it with our friends. For 2 people, use about 3 strips of bacon and 2 cloves garlic.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

We're glad Marlene's great-grandmother brought this Juet recipe from Belgium. It's a delicious old-world recipe with creamy potatoes, fresh spinach, and bacon. The bacon adds a wonderful salty and smoky flavor to the potatoes. This can be eaten as a side dish or even a main dish. It's yummy!
