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.
Ingredients:
6 -8 red potatoes (vary in size)
6 cups water
2 inches fat, back
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
Directions:
1. Wash and peel potatoes.
2. Before adding potatoes to the pot, fry a 2-inch slice of fat back in the pot til browned.
3. Leave grease in pot and remove strip and discard (or put 1 cube chicken bouillon in the water while cooking).
4. Add potatoes and water to grease in the pot and bring to a boil.
5. Cook 20 minutes or until tender.
6. Drain potatoes.
7. Put potatoes in a mixer bowl and add milk, whipping cream, salt, pepper and butter and cream to texture you prefer (use more or less milk if needed).
