Notes: The Potato Croquettes recipe is an absolute favorite of Grandpa's. They look perfect every time. A photo of these savory croquettes is on the divider of this section. The Mashed Potatoes with Cream Cheese can be prepared the day before and heated when ready to serve. Grandma's office manager, Leslie, gave this recipe as a way of preparing delicious mashed potatoes a day before a holiday celebration. It works well. The Potato Salad with oil and vinegar is an old family favorite. It is a great alternative to mayo based salad but is rich and satisfying.
