| These are quick and easy potatoes. I've cooked and served them in Hvallátur, Stykkishólmur, Akureyri, Sauðárkrókur, and Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland with requests for the recipe every time. |

About Stóri Dímon Stóri Dímon... is a small mount located on a flat plain of glacial till on the south coast of Iceland. It is the logo and home of the cheese. My good friends, Óli and Bína, have a summer house with a view of Stóri Dímon. I have enjoyed visiting there and so I have a certain fondness for this area. These two photos were taken from their summer house. Because it's so dramatically prominent, it's no surprise that it has been photographed and painted many times. In 1902 Þórarin B. Þorláksson painted a view of it. Today that painting is part of a collection of his work at the National Gallery in Reykjavík. |
