Personal Notes:
When I was a kid, this is one of the dishes that I remembered Dad making for us when mom was away. This was a treat for mom made her cream chicken differently. We would mash the boiled potatoes in our dish and scoop the cream chicken over it. This is probably the way our Baba Chapelsky made it. It was yummy!
