Potatoes, Potatoes, Potatoes….oh how I love thee.
Growing up I would spend lots of time out at my
grandparent’s farm in Dickson County, TN. One of my favorite things to do on
the farm was to go to the garden with Dada. I can remember as a little girl, sitting
in the garden with my plastic shovel…(you know the beach sets you can buy in
the summer with the pale and the shovel included…that’s the shovel I was using)
and trying to dig up potatoes.
We would take the potatoes back to my grandmother and she
would make the best creamed potatoes you have every put into your mouth. She
would make them for every meal and I was always thrilled! Since her passing my
mother still continues making them just like she did; every time I take a bit I
am reminded of the memory of sitting in her kitchen listening to the mixer run
and watching her make the creamed potatoes and then enjoying them for lunch on
a Sunday after church.
A new recipe I tried here recently was Dijon potatoes. Dijon
potatoes area a quick yummy side dish you can add to any dinner you have. I
made them one night for my boyfriend and his friend and they were devoured.
