Double boiler creamy potatoes

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Med-sized potatoes
1 small Onion
½ teaspoon Salt
A pinch of nutmeg or grated rind of 1/2 lemon
⅛ teaspoon Pepper
2 tablespoons Butter
2 tablespoons Sour cream

Directions

Pare and quarter the potatoes, cover with boiling water, add the onion, salt and pepper. Boil 15 minutes over direct heat. Drain well, add the butter, sour cream and nutmeg or lemon rind. Place on top of boiling water and simmer 40 minutes. Serve.

NOTES : In the spring top with fresh dill; in the winter try dried crushed mint. Either way, or without herbs, it is good. This is another of Dolly's creations.
