SWEDISH CREAMED POTATOES FROM SKANE (SKANSK POTATIS)
Swedish potatoes from a cookbook from my Swedish neighbor, Millie. These are awesome but a heart attack waiting to happen! LOL. In order to have bacon drippings I sometimes fry the bacon crisp and then crumble it over the top of the potatoes as we like the extra crunch on top of the creamy potatoes.

SWEDISH CREAMED POTATOES
I cook this whenever I do my Christmas Ham with Prunes and Red Cabbage recipes. The three work wonderfully together. Its taken from Scandinavian Holiday Recipes. I have copied the recipe directly but I've never added the herbs or leeks (I always seem to forget) and I must warn you that every time I do this the potatoes take ages (an hour or so!) to cook, maybe its me doing something wrong. The saving grace is that if you do do it to accompany the ham and cabbage, both of those recipes are very forgiving timewise ; ie the ham can be turned down and then rested and the red cabbage can simmer away quite happily just being stirred occasionally.

Tips:
- Use Yukon Gold potatoes: Yukon Gold potatoes are a good all-purpose potato that holds its shape well when cooked. They also have a creamy texture that is perfect for creamed potatoes.
- Peel the potatoes thinly: This will help the potatoes cook evenly and will also make them more tender.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces: This will ensure that they all cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and will not hold their shape.
- Use a good quality cream: A good quality cream will make the sauce richer and more flavorful.
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste until the sauce is flavorful.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
