BUTTERY CREAMED POTATOES



Buttery Creamed Potatoes image

It's the end of summer and I'm pulling out all the fall and winter favorites. These potatoes are a great accompaniment to any meat dish that doesn't create a gravy. Do not put the dish together before you bake the potatoes, because the cream sauce will react with the potatoes and they will turn gray if they sit. I learned this the hard way.

CREAMED PEAS & POTATOES W/PEARL ONIONS



Creamed Peas & Potatoes w/Pearl Onions image

So, tonight I was craving a dish that my Grandma Campbell used to make as soon as she could get some new potatoes from the garden and there was enough pea pods to pick to make this comfort food. It is really simple to make. The true brillance of this dish is getting the sweet crunchy peas, potatoes & onions fresh from the garden....

Provided by Kimberly Biegacki

Categories     Vegetables

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

9 - 11 small new red potatoes
1/2 bag(s) peas, baby fresh or frozen
1 small bag of pearl onions
2 Tbsp butter
3 - 4 Tbsp flour
salt & fresh cracked pepper
3/4 - 1 c half and half or milk
1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Steam your potates and peas till tender. Prepare you pearl onions by boiling for 5 minutes and removing skins. Mix all three in a bowl once you have your sauce ready to pour over them.
  • 2. Add your butter to a sauce pan and melt on medium heat. Once melted add in your flour and whisk till it is a paste. Now add your cream and keep whisking. Keep stirring till it begins to thicken. About 5 to 7 minutes or so. I like to add just a little fresh grated nutmeg but that is optional. If you need it thicker add a little more flour. If too thick add a little milk or more cream. Prepare sauce and pour over veggies.
  • 3. Now mix your cream sauce in with the veggies and coat well. Add your salt and pepper and you are ready to serve.
  • 4. If using frozen peas this is a good brand to find.

CREAMED SWEET POTATOES

This was a fantastic side dish for our Thanksgiving feast. I doesn't make a huge bowl full, but we found it to be the perfect amount. I only used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, but I could have used a little more. I thought there was too much butter however. 1/4 cup would have been plenty.

GRANDMA'S CLASSIC CREAMED CHICKEN OVER BAKED POTATOES



Grandma's Classic Creamed Chicken over Baked Potatoes image

This is not all that unique and really nothing special, but it is just GOOD comfort food. It was my Grandma's recipe, although I am sure she got bits and pieces from combining other classic recipes. One night Grandma was making the chicken, but when she went to make the biscuits, she was out of flour. So ... potatoes was the answer. We all liked it so much, that is how we always made it from then on.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 4 Individual Servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large potatoes, baked and cut in half
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 1/2 cups light cream (milk or half and half will work fine)
1 cup chicken, cooked and diced
1 cup peas (frozen peas work fine)
1 1/2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup celery, fine diced
1/2 cup red pepper, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, fine chopped
1 teaspoon olive oil
salt
pepper
white cheddar cheese, grated fine

Steps:

  • Potatoes -- I always bake mine ahead, cut in half and just heat up in the microwave before serving.
  • Bechemel -- In a small sauce pan, add the butter and bring to medium heat. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. Mix well to combine and cook a couple of minutes to loose the flour taste. Slowly whisk in the milk or cream and and bring up to a low boil until thickened. You can set this off to the side.
  • Vegetables -- In a large sauce pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium / medium high heat. Add the celery, onion and red pepper and cook 2-3 minutes, then add in the mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes under the vegetables are tender.
  • Chicken -- Now, I cook my chicken ahead or I use leftover chicken, so please make the chicken anyway you want. I usually oven roast a couple of bone in breasts, seasoned with just olive oil, salt and pepper, 375 for 40-45 minutes (depending on the size).
  • Reduce the heat to medium low, add in the chicken, peas and bechemel sauce and cook until everything is heated through. Taste for seasoning (salt and pepper) and add the parsley. If the sauce is a bit thick, add a little more cream or milk. I like a nice thick sauce, but it is up to you.
  • Potato -- Since I make mine ahead, just microwave for a minute to heat up. If you just baked them, follow the directions below.
  • Serve -- Take the potato, slice it in half and lightly use a fork and break up the inside of the potato, don't take any out, just mix it up a bit.
  • Then top with a few spoons of the chicken over the potato. Top with the cheese and enjoy. You can also put under the broiler, microwave or oven for just a few minutes to melt the cheese. It is just a garnish. And the heat of the sauce will melt the cheese all on it's own. Serve with a fresh salad for a nice easy CLASSIC dish.
  • Note: Baked Potato Time is not included in Prep Time.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for creamed potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Parboil the potatoes: This step helps to remove some of the starch from the potatoes, which will make them less likely to fall apart when you add the cream.
  • Use a good quality cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will give you the creamiest potatoes.
  • Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good choices.
  • Add some extras: Chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, or crumbled bacon are all great additions to creamed potatoes.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Creamed potatoes are best when they are served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Creamed potatoes are a classic side dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a creamy, flavorful dish that will complement any main course.
