Grandma’s mashed potatoes had the inviting aroma of herbs and garlic.

Grandma took pride in making such classic dishes as scalloped potatoes.

When we were young, we would giggle and say, ‘More green potatoes, please!’

My father loved these potatoes so much as a child that my grandparents nicknamed him ‘Spud.’

I can still see Grandma rolling out pierogi dough, her wooden rolling pin in hand and flour on her nose.

Store-bought potato chips could never compare to the crisp texture and fresh flavor of Grandma’s homemade chips.

Grandma’s special cream potatoes always had everyone asking for more.

Grandma always kept plenty of potatoes on hand to roast and serve with a variety of meat dishes.

Colcannon sustained many generations of Grandma’s family.

My sister makes this family favorite with buttery Yukon gold potatoes. I think Grandma would approve.
