WISCONSIN GERMAN BUTTERBALL POTATO & CARMELIZED ONION TARTS
“There’s not anything subtle or small about Mr. B’s—we’ve fashioned ourselves after those classic New York City and Chicago-style steakhouses—and potatoes are part of that experience. This dish shows that, and when I first tasted the Wisconsin German Butterballs, I knew they were made for this dish. Boy, was I right!”
Executive Chef/General Manager Brent Perszyk, Mr. B’s—A Bartolotta Steakhouse, Brookeld, WI
