This scrumptious dish was introduced to me by my German college roommate many years ago. We fixed it in our dorm room, which was verbotten, so I always associate this meal with an electric fry pan. I seem to remember we cooked the potatoes with the ribs in the same pan, but I think boiling the potatoes separately is a better idea.
