Creamed Potatoes

Creamed Potatoes are easy to make with a few simple ingredients. 

My surprise ingredient creates and creamy, tasty texture.                                                 

HELPFUL COOKING TIPS

Russet potatoes are the best type of potatoes to use for this recipe (in my opinion).  When boiled, their texture is smooth and creamy.  Some varieties are just too slick and waxy. 

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

MASHING TIPS (SMALL LUMPS ARE GOOD)

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

For those who prefer it, sprinkle individual servings with LOTS of ground black pepper.

Serve with melted butter drizzled over the top. 

ENJOY! 

Consider serving Creamed Potatoes are with my Taco Meatloaf.
