We were so delighted to have dinner in one of our Amish manufacturer’s homes on a recent buying trip to Holmes County, OH. Laura Yoder, our hostess, has been gracious enough to share her recipe for mashed potatoes. We love Amish mashed potatoes! We forget the “waste” line when visiting Amish country. Adjust to your family size. The recipe is for 7 people. I used it for 11, and it really needs the milk for creaminess. Mashed Potatoes
Boil potatoes (around 9 nice ones). When soft, mash well and add: 1/2 stick real butter, 1/4 stick cream cheese (I used the 8 oz size), 1/4 C sour cream, salt to taste, milk till right consistency. Heat till hot, stirring constantly.
Our Amish cookbooks haven’t been researched to see if this recipe is in any of them. However, there are many mouth watering recipes in the Amish cookbooks available in our store. Wanna try Scrapple, Shoo fly Pie, dry corn or a sugar free recipe? Some of the books have charming snippits of Amish life. Remember, these books are available at Amish Workbench Furniture.
