Instructions:
Dice leftover, cooked boiled potatoes. Place potatoes in iron skillet, called a “spider” by
Nanny. (Any heavy frying pan or an electric skillet will do.) Add a dab of butter (home
churned on Nanny’s farm); sprinkle 1 T flour over the potatoes. Pour in whole milk or
cream to just cover potatoes. Add salt and pepper as desired. Cook slowly over medium
heat until potatoes are warmed through and milk has thickened. Sometimes Mother diced
an onion into the potatoes before cooking. In season, she chopped fresh parsley over the
top or sprinkled with paprika. Some cooks like to stir in ¼ cup finely shredded cheese
just before serving.
Author’s Bio:
I’m Mary Emma Allen, a children’s author, cooking and travel columnist,
quiltmaker and quilt book author, family/inspirational writer, and writing teacher/speaker.
I’ve always been eager to try new ventures in writing; as a result I’ve enjoyed working at
many types of writing and my books reveal this diversity. They include WHEN WE
BECOME THE PARENT TO OUR PARENTS (ISBN: 09651675-1-8), which
chronicles my mother’s journey through Alzheimer’s, TALES OF ADVENTURE &
DISCOVERY (ISBN: 0-9651675-0-X), a collection of children’s stories I’ve also
illustrated, The Magic of Patchwork, Writing in Maine, New Hampshire & Vermont,
and several manuals for writers. My most recent work was a coloring book to accompany
the children’s anthology. Currently I’m working on writing activity books for children
and a YA novel inspired by my ancestors’ experiences during the Civil War era in the
United States. Visit my web site: http://homepage.fcgnetworks.net/jetent/mea or e-mail
