If you were raised in the South, you likely had these potatoes a few times a month. It’s still a dish I crave today!
To begin, boil water in a big saucepan until it comes up approximately two inches over the potatoes, after which they should be peeled and diced.
While the potatoes are coming to a boil, simmer them until they are soft but not mushy. Next, bring the temperature down to a simmer.
To make a thickening agent, mix the flour with half a cup of water in a separate basin until smooth.
While the potatoes are cooking, slowly add the flour mixture, stirring frequently to avoid lumps. Allow it to reduce heat and thicken somewhat. You may adjust the stew’s thickness by adding more flour or water.
When you’re ready to finish the meal, add the milk and season with salt, pepper, and onion flakes. To enhance the flavor to your liking, you can add bacon fat or butter.
A delicious and heartfelt homage to the time-honored tradition of Southern cuisine, this recipe for stewed potatoes is sure to please. It will provide a touch of Southern hospitality to any meal, whether it’s a family dinner, a gathering, or just a side dish. Let this beloved recipe’s rich, meaty tastes take you away to a simpler time, when sharing a meal together was a joyous occasion honoring one’s ancestry and community.
