"To me,these are the real deal traditional type potatoes that are served in the South. This recipe is based upon the type of potatoes I grew up eating.You could use regular milk,but I feel the evaporated milk gives the potatoes a richer flavor.And as always with my recipes,adjust the seasonings according to your own tastes.
