Special Mother's Day Entry This is one recipe that must be at all of our family gatherings. Everyone knows to get there early if they want the potatoes. People who swear by fresh, peeled potatoes, love these. My daughter is one person who makes homemade mashed potatoes and she LOVES these. They are popular with our family in Illinois all the way to our friends' house in New Mexico. My mother, Shirley Talarico gave us this recipe when we were kids. There were 13 of us. We all love these potatoes that go well with anything. Beef sandwiches, turkey, roast beef, etc.
