"red potatoes" news and stories

My family's stock of Christmas leftovers is rapidly dwindling, and we've long since polished off the last of my new favorite ultra-rich side: toothsome peeled red potatoes smothered in creamy, buttery, pure-white gravy. I should say it's my renewed favorite, actually, since as a child I ate these often in the homes of my more traditionally Southern relatives. It's only very recently that my immediate family has revisited the dish.

As straightforward as this preparation is, much creative searching did not turn up a single recipe. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. This is good, plain, honest food. There is no way to sex it up the way you can with mac & cheese or even mashed potatoes. Nothing fancy, no photogenic browned bits, just lumpy white stuff. Taste it before you judge. The method is after the jump.
