Potatoes that are fried together with onions and then stewed with cream and milk. I use some broth in this recipe, but it can be left out and I'm not sure what counts as classic Scanian potatoes here. I think it will be good with a little extra flavor from the broth, so I choose to include it in the recipe.
The difference between Scanian potatoes and regular stewed potatoes (e.g. dill stewed potatoes) is mainly that there is no form of flour in Scanian potatoes. The starch in the raw fried potatoes together with milk and cream that is reduced creates the stew without extra help from flour.
Scanian potatoes are often served together with "isterband", but I think it goes well with almost any tasty sausage. When I took some of the pictures, I had just made lamb roast beef and it also turned out to be a very good, but perhaps not so classic, combination. I also usually serve with pickled beetroot and/or pickled cucumber.
