CREAMED POTATOES
(from Mama Gracie)

4 or 5 potatoes, peeled
2 cups water

Salt

SAUCE:
1 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. plain flour
1 cup milk
Salt & Pepper, to taste

Peel potatoes; slice into saucepan. Add 2 cups water and salt. Bring to a boil, then cover. Simmer on low heat until potatoes are fork tender. Do not pour off water.

For sauce, place flour in measuring cup; add small amount of milk and blend with a fork until smooth. Add remaining milk and mix well. Add flour mixture slowly to potatoes and water in saucepan, along with salt and pepper, to taste. Simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes.

SOUTHERN FRIED POTATOES
(from Mother)

4 or 5 potatoes, peeled
1/2 onion, diced
Salt & Pepper, to taste

4 tbsp. Crisco

Peel potatoes; cut in quarters, then in 1/4" slices. Heat Crisco in cast iron skillet until hot. Place potatoes in skillet; add chopped onions, and salt and pepper. Cover and fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the skillet when stirring. The potatoes should be nicely browned and tender in about 20 minutes.

A note from Vickie: "Mother would sometimes fix these with bacon in them as well. Just take 4 or 5 strips of bacon, cut into small pieces and fry. Remove the bacon and fry potatoes in the bacon grease rather than Crisco. She would also serve the potatoes with what she called 'thickenin' gravy . . . a country gravy made with milk and sausage bits in it."
