Potatismos (Swedish Mashed Potatoes)
"The Swedish mashed potatoes took a bit of getting used to for me. I love nutmeg in my apple pies and other sweets, but it's not a flavor I expect in my mashed potatoes. Of course I always ate them the way my first husband's Norwegian gramma made them, but when I make them myself I use just enough to add a hint of flavor. After all, without the nutmeg they're just plain mashed potatoes. ;)"

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
