CALF'S LIVER WITH BACON AND ONIONS
The mashed sweet potatoes with sage butter are a great side dish for calf's liver. We recommend asking the butcher for the freshest calf's liver available, since it can vary in quality. Soaking the liver in milk, a method typically used for pork liver, helps soften and mellow its flavor.

Steps:
- Place liver in a nonreactive (ceramic or glass) bowl and pour milk over. Refrigerate, covered, 5 to 6 hours.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. When butter is shimmering, add onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring more frequently until onions are very soft and brown, 30 to 40 minutes more.
- Drain liver and discard milk. Pat liver dry with paper towels.
- Spread flour on a plate and season with salt and pepper. Thoroughly coat liver with the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat a large (13-inch) saute pan over medium heat and add remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil and heat until shimmering. Cook (in batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding pan) until liver is firm (but not hard) and browned on the outside but still slightly pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining liver, adding more oil to the pan as necessary. Add sage and cook for 1 minute more.
- Divide liver among plates and top with onions.

CALF LIVER AND ONIONS WITH BACON
Two or three spashes of red wine vinegar give a fresh kick to this old standby. Cooking with bacon also "lightens" the liver taste. When my children were small, I called this "Cowboy Steak." It was inspiration born of desperation. They ate it with enthusiasm.

- Salt and pepper to taste (remember, you have already used some, so go easy until you can taste it).
- Add enough water to make a gravy, barely covering the meat. Stir water to combine with other ingredients evenly.
- Cover, cook on low for 15-20 minutes. It should look like you have gravy.
