potaoes, again?

potatoes were the staple in our house growing up..
we grew a field of them and they lasted the winter.
so you quickly learned what you could do with them..
when I was young, my mom would go out to the fields
and bring home these huge puff balls..thats what we called them.
they were like a mushroom, only the size of your head..or larger..
she would slice those a few onions, and there you have a meal
she would fry green tomatoes,n onions.Nothing like it!
anyway to change up the flavour when mashing,: cream cheese, ranch dressing
sometimes when you dont have enough money, the salad dressings are a better buy..
Like I said before, you can get more bang for your buck with them..
Make wedged potaoes, pour ceasar dressing or ranch over them and bake them in the oven
Any of the dressings are great for that..or any kind of mashed..
After all they have the spice right there..good in a pinch..
once in a while my mom used to make a batter and dip the potaoes in it and fry them.
they were a favourite..
of course there wasnt much that us kids didnt like..mom used to say,
"these kids don't eat until their  full, they eat till their tired.."
Scallop potaoes..this is easy.."open a can of mushroom,cream of chicken., cream of celery
any of those "cream of"soups
othewise..use the cream sauce recipe..
some people like to add flour, then add milk, and layer..but I
prefer to cook the flour, becuse to me it can taste like flour..
if you know what I mean..
but this will be your dish, so try it any way, you may create your own
style ...and for those weight watchers..Im not suggesting drink the whole bottle..
just a few tablespoons, or to taste..and I"m not saying do it every night..
just wanted to clear that up..tahanks...
