SKILLET CREAM POTATOES



Skillet Cream Potatoes image

Another from Fannie Farmer (1965). Do you sense that I'm getting rid of that tattered volume and saving the best of it here? Fannie suggests cooking and serving this in an electric skillet which can go "on the buffet for a party." I like to use lo-fat or non-fat evaporated milk in place of milk or cream for most creamed dishes and cream sauces.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of potatoes: Yukon Gold or russet potatoes are the best choices for skillet cream potatoes, as they hold their shape well during cooking and have a creamy texture.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the potatoes get a nice, crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you do, the potatoes will steam instead of fry.
  • Cook the potatoes over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the potatoes occasionally: This will help them brown evenly.
  • Add the cream and cheese when the potatoes are almost cooked: This will prevent them from curdling.
  • Season the potatoes liberally with salt and pepper: This will help them taste their best.
