Creamed potatoes as taught to me by my uncle
"My mother had made creamed potatoes all my life and I loved them so much. That particular day I was so proud of making them all by myself (with a few suggestions from my uncle), that until this day I still remember how proud I was!"

This is the way my Mom has always made them, and she has always called them creamed potatoes (where most of the world calls them mashed potatoes). She usually reserves a bit of the cooking liquid and uses it to beat the potatoes. This way less milk and butter is used so they have a bit less fat and calories. Thanks for posting!

I live very close to my mother's family and enjoy it. My children are all within a 100 mile area in LA. I love my family very much! All of them. I am disabled. My favorite cookbook is "Recipes and Reminiscences of New Orleans" given to me by my past and late mother-in-law. I love to cook and garden and be with my grandchildren. My pet peeve is dishonest people. If I could do anything in this world, it would be to take a cruise to Alaska!
