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.

POTATISMOS (SWEDISH MASHED POTATOES)
The Swedish mashed potatoes took a bit of getting used to for me. I love nutmeg in my apple pies and other sweets, but it's not a flavor I expect in my mashed potatoes. Of course I always ate them the way my first husband's Norwegian gramma made them, but when I make them myself I use just enough to add a hint of flavor. After all, without the nutmeg they're just plain mashed 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.

- Select the Right Potatoes: Choose firm, all-purpose potatoes like Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes for best results.
- Cut Potatoes Evenly: Cut the potatoes into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Soak Potatoes: Soaking the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and helps them crisp up during roasting.

- Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt & pepper are classic choices.
- Roast at High Temperature: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) to achieve crispy exteriors and tender interiors.
- Stir or Toss Potatoes: Stir or toss the potatoes halfway through roasting to ensure even browning and crispiness.
- Watch the Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the potatoes and adjust the cooking time according to your desired level of crispness.
