Creamed New Potatoes

[Guest guest]

I made this a while back and it was very good. I only changed the type of

cream cheese to low-fat. For the buttermilk I used the Saco brand powdered

instant.

 

Creamed New Potatoes

 

2 1/2 pounds unpeeled small red potatoes, cut into 1 inch slices

1 tsp salt

1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, cubed

1 cup buttermilk

1 bunch green onions, chopped

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried tarragon

1/4 tsp pepper

3 Tbs minced fresh parsley

 

Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water; add salt. Bring to a boil.

Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

 

Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the cream cheese and buttermilk;

cook and stir over medium heat until cheese is melted and mixture is

smooth. Remove from heat; add onions, thyme, tarragon and pepper. Drain

potatoes and place in serving bowl; add cream sauce and toss to coat.

Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 6 servings
