I like to serve chicken with potatoes for Friday night Sabbath dinner. I like the fresh, home-cooked aroma it lends to the home, as well as the fresh, home-cooked taste. On Saturday, when food is heated on a hot plate (plata) in accordance with Judaism's Sabbath cooking laws, kugels or rice work better than potatoes as side dishes.
