Answering Your Burning Questions:

What Is The Difference Between Creamed Potatoes And Mashed Potatoes?

Creamed potatoes are potato cubes that are mixed with Bechamel sauce, while mashed potatoes have to be completely mashed and there is no flour added to them, only milk and butter.

What To Add To Potatoes To Make Them Creamy?

The best option in my opinion is béchamel sauce, which is made with milk, butter, and flour.

But if you have no time to prepare it, you can add sour or heavy cream.

What Are The Best Potatoes For Creamed Potatoes?

You can use your favorite potatoes. I recommend Yukon Golds. Russets are also a good option.

Do You Peel Potatoes Before Boiling?

I recommend peeling them to make the dish more presentable, but you can certainly leave the skin on.

What To Do With Leftover Creamed Potatoes?

Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and bake in the oven. You can add cooked bacon or chicken and make them into a delicious casserole.
