OLD-FASHIONED STEWED POTATOES – The Southern Lady Cooks

This old-fashioned recipe is one your Grandmother may have made!

If you love old-fashioned recipes, you will definitely want to check out our Old Fashioned Banana Pudding. It’s one of our most popular recipes.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love this recipe because it goes way back in our family. It’s a recipe our Nannie made and one we still love. One of the best things about this dish is it’s only made with water and butter. It tastes so much like mashed potatoes, but it’s not made the same way. 

It’s such a budget-friendly dish, and I am sure that is why it was so popular back in the day. You don’t use any cream or milk in these, which is why they are so unique. 

⭐TIP

This dish is best with peeled potatoes. Some people ask if you have to peel the potatoes and I believe it’s better if you do.
