No, and I was very surprised when I was looking at recipes online today, and half of them included potatoes. I had never heard of fasoakia with potatoes before, nor have I ever had them with potatoes.
Regional differences, mabez? 
I always thought fasoakia is served with potatoes when meant as a main dish and without potatoes when eaten as a side dish
Fish nuggets, tartar sauce, sweet potato fries, cold haricots dressed with sweet chili sauce, tequila, and sparkling lemonade. Everything from Trader Joe’s Tartar sauce was too sweet and lemonade was not sweet enough but everything else was good. Oh, and blood work came back with great results so I’m splurging again.

Smoked prime rib, smoked baked beans, and funeral potatoes. I supplied the wine and bourbon (both excellent if I say so 
). We’re visiting the side of the family that cooks.

It was a dark and stormy night … perfect for fondue.
Homemade cheese fondue with Emmental, Gruyere, white wine, apple juice, and cherry kirsch. I roughly followed this recipe from Tyler Florence.
Dippers included cooked ham, homemade French bread, tart garden apples (Granny Smith), grape tomatoes, pickled onions, and cornichons.
When contemplating fondue, I can’t help replaying in my head episodes of That 70’s Show. Nor can I resist recalling comic-book episodes of Asterisk and Obelisk dancing around the (giant Viking) fondue pot.
Fun dinner, with easy prep and clean-up as a bonus.

My 6 day weekend started today. Well, technically, it started last night when I left work at 5:30ish. But I still had to deal with some work issues today. 
Errands/shopping in Salem, NH, this morning/afternoon. Dinner decided as I was driving around: Kenji’s Serious Eats’ Cacio e Pepe.
I make my own peppercorn mix with Penzeys’ Tellicherry black, green, white, and pink peppercorns, so I often forget my cracked blend is a bit hotter than usual.
And even following his directions, I still had some clumpy Pecorino Romano cheese even after using the Microplane to grate the Romano cheese. But it tasted good!
Salad of red leaf lettuce, radishes, English cuke, and a chopped tomato with Penzeys Creamy Peppercorn dressing mix.
Wine. Because VACATION.
