Swedish Creamed Potatoes

---

I cook this whenever i do my christmas ham with prunes and red cabbage recipes. the three work wonderfully together. its taken from scandinavian holiday recipes. i have copied the recipe directly but i've never added the herbs or leeks (i always seem to forget) and i must warn you that every time i do this the potatoes take ages (an hour or so!) to cook, maybe its me doing something wrong! . the saving grace is that if you do do it to accompany the ham and cabbage, both of those recipes are very forgiving timewise ; ie the ham can be turned down and then rested and the red cabbage can simmer away quite happily just being stirred occasionally.
