To me, spring vegetables = asparagus. But since it's still a bit early for really really perfect asparagus (the kind that's so delicious you want to eat it raw, steamed, broiled, grilled...really anyway you can get it), this is a great way to softened their pre-season flavor with some buttery Yukon Gold potatoes potatoes and a bit of cheese.

Honestly, your pictures look much better than the dish I prepared last night. It might have something to do with the cheese. I did not have any fresh parmesan, so I used the pedestrian substitute. It tasted pretty good, though.
