Tips & Variations

• Extra flavor: Add a splash of milk or cream at the end

• Southern style: Add a pinch of cayenne or a little bacon grease

• Oven option: After browning, cover and bake at 325°F (165°C) for 1½ hours

• No peeling: Yukon golds work great skin-on

Serve with biscuits, cornbread, or green beans.

If you want, I can also give you a slow cooker version or a one-pan skillet method.
