"I love good cream potatoes. I learned how to make this from my Great Aunt Minnie. She always had a bowl on the table at meals. **NOTE** When I don't have fat back meat, I use a chicken bouillon cube in the water while boiling taters. You can use regular potatoes to replace red potatoes."

So good and creamy!!! I love mashed potatoes and yours are PERFECT! I used regular potatoes and chicken boullion cube in the water while boiling them. Easy to make and delicious. I served them with your cube steak and gravy recipe#113861 for most mouthwatering meal. Thank you Marsha for this great recipe!

These potatoes tasted great even the leftovers tasted good reheated. They were so rich and creamy, I couldn't ifnd fat back so I used fatty bacon instead. Thanks Marsha D. for a great potato recipe. Bullwinkle.

We all loved this, even my 10 month old. I used the chicken stock cube in the water. I also garnished with garlic chives. Thanks Marsha D!

Hello to everyone! :) This is of me in the year 2007 and my Icon is my two boys. I am from Lakewood Wa. but I am orginally from Hickory North Carolina, where I was born and raised.I moved to Washington to marry my second husband, who I met on the internet from a dating site called kiss.com. We both enjoy fishing. Mineral Lake is where we go on the weekends during the fishing season. I talk about going to the lake alot but its just because I love to get away from the big city since I'm a country girl at heart. I enjoy this website and I really love the new recipes I have found.
