Creamed Potatoes

EDITOR’S NOTE (May 19, 2019):  See recipe video on my Facebook fan page.

A pleasant change from roasted or baked potatoes.  The sour cream in this creamy side dish adds fabulous flavor!  Superb with fried chicken, barbecue or meatloaf.  Complements most meat entrees.

My “secret” to melt-in-your-mouth creamed potatoes is simmering them in water, salt, and milk.

Mashed cooked potatoes until smooth.  Also good slightly lumpy.

I always add a LOT of ground black pepper.  Sooooo good!

Excellent drizzled with melted butter.

Enjoy!
