    Creamy Company Potatoes and 9 Other Amish Thanksgiving Potato Recipes!

    Published: Nov 19, 2017 · Updated: Nov 19, 2017 by Kevin Williams | 6 Comments

    Nothing partners with turkey better than potatoes.   Amish cooks are experts at throwing together massive potato dishes to feed a crowd.  This is one of these classic Amish potato dishes that come into being in the post WW II convenience food boom.   Certain Amish communities were heavily influenced by the convenience of canned soups and pre-made cheese.  This dish reflects that, but is delicious, and would be perfect to feed a Thanksgiving crowd.  Thanks to recipe testing volunteer, Patricia, from Kentucky, for testing this for us and reporting that: "This makes a lot. It would make two 9 x 13 pans....very good dish. Great for big family gatherings!"

    This recipe is actually Old Order Mennonite, comes from one of my favorite recipe sources, an old, no-longer published Mennonite cookbook.ii

      I have been enjoying getting many of these recipes. I had foot surgery 6 weeks ago and just started cooking again from the comfort of a desk chair on wheels (no weight on foot for another 2 months. I have had my husband take me to Holmes County do most of my meat(less fat and sodium used) and grocery shopping about every 2 weeks. I shop using a wheel chair for now, but it works. Going on Black Friday to Grandkids to Berlin for live Nativity Parade. My son and his family are coming from Manhattan, IL. They also love Amish
