      Brisket is one of the cuts of beef that comes with my regular local meat subscription service. This gives me so many ideas to plan in advance, but we are really interested in vegetable dishes like the pea salad and the parsnip fries, plus, of course, the salt potatoes.

        Great choices and I am jealous of that meat subscription that includes brisket. Enjoy salt potatoes and more the next time you need some good sides for your beef dinner.
