Hill Folk Cook'in, Stewed Apples, Stewed Potatoes, Delicious! 

Mama used to make this with the first new potatoes of the year. We couldn't wait for her to tell us to check to see if we could get enough for supper. Tiny little red potatoes scrubbed, boiled and stewed with a lot of pepper and a knob of butter. A pork steak and some butter beans out of the freezer, corn bread. Nothing better.

My momma made these same potatoes sooo many times. We loved them when we had fresh corn and purple hull peas from the field. We never went hungry and ate home grown country food all my life. Best there is!!

Ms.Lori! I so enjoy watching your program! This reminds me of when my Precious Mom would fix these Stewed Potatoes, she like to do that when we had Fried Fish , Baked Rock Fish and her Homemade Biscuits! Still Love them but My PRECIOUS Daddy Always made his Cornbread and it would melt in your mouth, I like plenty of Butter on mine! I Too make Apples like you! They are so good! Thank you and Mr Brown for being so Caring! You are Loved! God Bless You Both!!

My Grandma, who basically raised me, called stewed potatoes “Mom’s potatoes” for her mom, my great grandma. Potatoes were sliced thin, covered with a little water and seasoned with bacon grease, salt and pepper. We traditionally had them with salmon croquettes and stewed tomatoes. Your cooking brings lots of good memories, Miss Lori. Wish I lived just down the road. 🥰

Those baby piggies are coming along nicely! So cute and cared for.

I had forgotten about stewed potato’s, this brought back some wonderful memories , my mom used to make them just the way you did, she’s been gone a few years now and this brings back some great memories of my mom. Thank you.

Oh, this brings back memories! My little Granny made this, but didn’t call it stewed potatoes. I’m so glad you made this video. She had a little red plastic shaker that she mixed the flour and water in and poured into the potatoes, and added onions to the potatoes. That was some good eating right there. Definitely saving this and making it real soon. She also made it with the tiny new whole potatoes from the garden sometimes.

I live in MN and it is snowing again today. 4-8” by supper time. We called those creamed potatoes and fried apples but no matter what you call them , they are delicious! Love watching you cook❤

Oddly enough, I still cook like this. I remember being in the kitchen as a child as my great grandmother and grandmother would cook together. I learned early and wouldn't change a single moment of those precious, wonderful times. Thank you for bringing such delicious recipes to so many. May they be as blessed as I was.

I love stewed potatoes. We always called them creamed potatoes 😋 . My Mom always put frozen peas in them they were and are so good 😋I make these once in a while they are a comfort food totally . My Grandpa used to make stewed apples and baked apples 🍎 I remember walking into his house and smelling those apples 😀Boy that brings back memories . I’m 63 years young and I can still smell my Grandma and Grandpa’s house it always smelled so good 😊 Thanks for sharing Miss Lori 😀May God Bless you and Mr Brown 🙏🙏

Can you imagine working all day, with the rain pouring down and coming home to a hot dinner like this. Wow. And someone who loves you cooked and served it to you. Can't get much better than this.

Miss Lori, I bet I’ve eaten a ton of stewed potatoes. This is exactly the way I make stewed potatoes. My mama would also add a little bit of bacon grease and butter to hers. She always called stewed potato’s “slop taters”. I’m having pork chops for supper tonight and I’ll be making “slop taters”, cornbread and cold slaw. Those stewed apples look soooooooooooo good. Well, now I’m officially starving. God bless you and Mr. Brown.

We add "thickening" to potato's, squash, stewed tomatoes and green peas....I think it was a way to stretch the meal. And since we grew up in an orchard area, apples were used as a vegetable. My grandfather had an orchard and they ate apples at nearly every meal. It's what they had.

My mother taught me "stewed potatoes & onions." Peel & cut up potatoes into small chunks, rinse with water. Dice an entire onion, adding to potatoes. Add salt, pepper, butter or margarine. Cover with water 2" above mixture. Cook till done, then cook till almost a boil, then turn off heat. As the potatoes cool they will thicken. Lori, yours looked awesome. And the apples are the topping to this meal. 😊 Thanks for sharing.

My dad would make stew potatoes with the first crop of new potatoes was the best. He picked out the baby potatoes and make a huge potential with cornbread. We new after potatoes got plowed up and in the barn. We got two things the best meal every and than a afternoon at the creek hole for working the fields. Usually potatoes was 10 to 20 acres. So thanks for memories. Have a blessed day.

Although my mother wasn't from Arkansas, she married my father who was. On their wedding day, I've been told, my dad asked my mom to make cornbread every day. My mother kept that vow. Only when she couldn't, we had cornbread. She cooked very country because that was what they like and being in the great depression, things were scarce. I love the looks of those potatoes and that is what we're having for dinner tonight. I have three apples I need to use up and they are going to be on the plate too. Thank you, Miss Lori for the recipes you share with us. I'm 81 y/o, and some of these recipes I've never seen or even heard of, (born in CA, now living in UT). I love your sweet ways and the love I see between you and Mr. Brown. My Mr. is gone now, but he was from an OK family and would have loved these dishes. Thanks again for your efforts. We love you and Mr. Brown. God Bless you both.

My Mom called these creamed potatoes. She fixed them exactly the same way. Yummy. Brings back good memories. I always liked fried or stewed apples. Really good old fashioned country cooking..Meat loaf looks good. A great meal!Thank you. God bless you and yours❤🙏🙏❤

One year when we were growing up our Dad planted a whole lot of potatoes. I remember digging those potatoes up and it seemed like we harvested thousands of them .Our Mom cooked potatoes every way she could. We loved her stewed potatoes the best and now I cook them for our family. Thank you for sharing a good memory with me.

This is my kind of food! No one could do a better job of showing us how to prepare it. Love your demeanor, your voice, just everything! Thank you.

I'M 63 AND THAT'S WAY MY MOMMA USED TO FIX OUR TATERS...THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL MEMORY FLASH BACK....ENJOYED WATCHING YOU AND MR BROWN DANCING OTHER DAY...PRAY YAL STAY SAFE

I enjoyed watching you cook this good meal. We were raised on this good food, and we love it. 💞

I've made stewed potatoes but it's been awhile. Most of the time my kids would go ahead and mash them up and turn them into mashed potatoes so I just started making mashed potatoes instead. But now days I think they would love them stewed. I know I love them with lots of butter and seasoning. My late husband loved stewed, fried, baked apples. Just about anyway he could get them with cinnamon and brown sugar especially. I love them too. Hoping you all stayed safe during the storms and no damage was done to your homestead. Thank you for the delicious recipes too! I can't wait to make so many of your yummy recipes!

I grew up in West Virginia and my Mama Pearly Alice made these all the time, but she called them creamed potatoes. She thickened with corn starch. So delicious with her pone of cornbread or fritters and lots of greens onions out of the garden.

My grandmother and mom's cooking. I have not made stewed tomatoes in ages. Thank you Ms Lori for reminding me of these. May you, Mr. Brown and family have a blessed healthy Happy New Year.

Lol, you make me miss my grandmother's cooking. She made stewed potatoes and the apples quite often. She knew how to dry her apples outside in sun and no insects or birds, etc. , bothered them. Of course I remember helping hang clothes to dry on clothes line. 😒. Not much money, but always had plenty. I even helped her make the lard, and wash clothes in huge cast iron wash pot. Miss those days.

Every morning of my life growing up in the mountains of western NC, my pa-paw made a huge pan of biscuits and stewed apples from the orchard before he headed out to work at Dave Steel. Loved those days. You brought back good memories. And stewed potatoes are wonderful.

My Indiana grandmother called these water potatoes. Mom thickened her potatoes with milk cornstarch and grated cheese. She called them creamed potatoes. It all says comfort food. Blessings!

I made some stewed potatoes with onions & a pan of corn bread it was so good I think as times get worse we need to see more meals like this thank you

I grew up on stewed taters and apples. My Mother made the apples like you do, and sometimes we would eat our apples over a buttered hot biscuit. It's so good. Thank you, Ms. Lori. I appreciate your hard work for us to see. God bless y'all.

This is like my Ma's potatoes and Gravy. She made it when the potatoes came in from the garden. You really made me miss her so much. Thank you for bring back that memory.

Thank you for showing how you make stewed potatoes! I'm almost 65 years old and lost my Mother about 5 years ago. Never thought to ask her how she made certain foods. Guess I thought she would be around forever. We grew up in Arkansas also! I've now buried all of my family and sadly have no one left to ask how Mom made certain foods. I am trying to incorporate more dried beans into our diet for fiber and cook more natural foods instead of using store bought canned. I cooked the best pot of pintos (my favorite!) with my left over Christmas ham. I also cooked some cornbread from scratch! It reminded me of suppers I had when I was a child. Mom would make pintos, stewed potatoes and cornbread for dinner a lot and served with hunks of onion. As a child, we would put the potatoes and bean on top of the cornbread along with their broth. So I tried my hand at remembering the stewed potatoes. I didn't do a bad job so this video helped me! Thank you for helping bring my past into the present again!

Can you have too much butter? Hahaha. My answer no. My mom was from Texas, and now shes gone, it gives me comfort hearing sooo many things you say and make reminds me of her. I never even knew it was where she was from. I wished I had asked many more things about her past. Im about your age, but I love your channel. Happy New Year to you and your family!

Lori...Although I have made the potatoes before with a different recipe, i just made the stewed potatoes using your recipe....my husband loved it. My Mom use to make the potatoes when I was growing up...we were poor and never thought about not having much...but we made it!...I had green beans and fried pork chops with them...delicious...Thank you Ms Lori for all the recipes and ideas. I am in my 70's but I still get some good ideas from you. Your the best!...love watching your videos. ❤

I was raised on the potatoes, but down South, we called it Poor man potatoes. Some nights for dinner all we had was Poorman potatoes with a biscut. It was an awesome meal.

Perfect video for a day like today! Here in MN, we're getting hit with another winter storm and it's blizzard like conditions outside. Watching you cook hot, comfort food makes me feel warm and cozy! I made an old-fashioned Sour Cream Raisin Pie just to keep busy indoors and it's my husband's favorite. I enjoy all of your videos.

I haven't had stewed potatoes since I was little girl. I remember momma making them. And my goodness stew apples too. My mom had lot of us kids to feed and this was fast and good for us. She would make a meatloaf with her buttermilk biscuits. Man I wish I could have just one more of her meals again. Thank you Mrs Lori for bringing back memories. 🥰👵

I've never had potatoes cooked like that before but it sure looks yummy!!! But we did have fried apples very often..... Mama would go out to the apple tree in our back yard before supper and pick a mess.... I can still see her sitting at the kitchen table peeling them in my mind.....such a precious memory!! Love and hugs from KY!!

Hi, I live in northern BC in Canada and my mum used to make these potatoes but we called the. Creamed potatoes. I think the only difference was she drained them and then made a white sauce. So good. I used to go to dog shows in the states and always hit a Cracker Barrel and they always served them apples. I have been making the, ever since. Love the, so much. Thanks Miss Lori. ❄️🇨🇦❄️

Hi Ms. Lori. My Mama was an Oklahoma transplant here to Ca. I remember her talking about stewed potatoes but I’ve never tasted/seen them before. It is like they’re on their way to potato soup but not quite. I’d like to taste them. And stewed apples were something we had as kids. Served all different ways. Thank you! I bet that was a delicious meatloaf dinner w/the stewed potatoes and apples!

My folks were from Arkansas, we moved to Washington state and my dad had a apple and pear orchards. My mother cooked fried apples with onions and it was so good!

We were from Southern Ohio and my Mom and Grandma made these and them "soupy potatoes". We had stewed apples too. Love your videos!

Great video as usual. My mamaw used to fix stewed apples quite often in the winter. She would usually have them with her breakfast. Of course, she always had an old-fashioned breakfast. Have a good day. God bless!!!

I just wanted to jump on here about two other recipes that I have made from your RU-vid channel. First was the butterscotch pie. My grandmother was the best pie maker ever and she gave me some of her recipes including my favorite her butterscotch pie and between four kids and moving I lost them it was heartbreaking. Every few years I would look up a recipe and see if I could recreate it.. no go. Then I came across your butterscotch pie. It looked right and I went straight in the kitchen made it right away and it tasted just like Grandma's you don't know how happy that made me. Thank you. Second dish was your baked bean recipe. My mother worked so I got store canned baked beans and I'm now convinced that is child abuse..lol. One night I tried your baked bean recipe and I did not realize what I had been missing. Absolutely delicious, your channel is a charm and I appreciate you greatly. Sincerely Stephanie.

I also think that the cornbread would go so wonderful with those stewed apples

Yum !!! Now I'm going to have to make a meat loaf and make cold meatloaf sandwiches for lunch the next day.. and I will be making the stewed potatoes it's almost potato soup just needs celery carrotts onion chopped fine either way it's good. It's 4 day's into the new year and so far do good lol God bless this year and your people. 🙌❤🙏

We made our stewed potatoes with sliced potatoes and onions, cooked together till almost fork tender, add salt, pepper and butter. Add a couple Tlbs flour to 1/2 c milk stir to combine to dissolve any lumps and add to potatoes. Add any milk if you want but leave all your water in your pot. Just saute to the thickness you want and add more butter if you want. That's our version of them.

I grew up on stewed tomatoes and apples always had with sardines or salmon patties. Yummy. Thank you for sharing Ms Lori have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏

I love watching you guys. Reminds me of how I was raised. God bless you in new year.

Always wanted go back to the old ways of life.country living would have been ideal for me,but now I am 75+yrs of age and live alone.it would be to hard for me to do so now..I was brought up on Long island,n.y. when it was potato farms,one little man owned store with limited food .later a a & p opened in a town 1/2 hr. Away.with a 5 g10 cent store next to it...that was a big putting for me & my mama.we went with her fried,they would stop for food ,mom would give me 5cents sometimes 10 cents,to buy what I wanted in the 5&10cent store.i always bought the bobsey twins books.yrs things back then we're 5&10 cents,y'all.but for mom,it was a sacrifice.money was tight back then for mom & dad. But I never knew till yrs later when I became a adult .they never let us know.but we never went without.back in the day that's what Mom's & Dad's did.we had a loving family.and that's what made us rich.,in love. Grandma lived with us.she was wonderful , passed away when I was 13.still think about her very often.still have her little coffee pot she made her black coffee in.it sits on my stove nowfirst thing I have always unpacked whenever I moved.also have the egg holder she use to feed me soft boil egg from. Both are way over 80 yrs old I have no one to leave them to,it hope who every may find them on my stove will keep them as antiques.but they will never know what he memories they hold.

I think I remember my mother-in-law using canned milk in her stewed potatoes. Man I loved those!

That was my grandmothers Stewed Potatoes… such good memories…and her fried apple pies..

This reminded me of my dear mother’s cooking! Thank you for sharing it!

My Grandmother taught me to make stewed creamed potatoea in NC when I was a child. This recipe always makes me think of her. We enjoyed a deep skillet of them tonight with our roast top round of beef, sliced thin, medium rare, potatoes on tye side w biscuits. Thanks for the memories! 👩‍🍳😛

At the beginning of this video when you were gathering eggs made me think how lucky you all are to have your own chickens with the price of eggs. I’m going to try those stewed apples. I always order them when I go to Cracker Barrel. Your supper looked so good. Thanks to you both for this wholesome channel. God bless. 🙏

Thank you, Mrs. Lori, for cooking up some stewed potatoes. Your whole meal looked so delicious. Could you share with us how you have energy to do all you do? You're a wonder, dear friend! God bless you coming and going.

Never heard of stewed potatoes till I watched "The Farming Pastor's Wife". She's made them several times on her channel. I this VLOG. Thank you Ms. Lori.

I'm 59 years old, and I remember my mom just boiling a big pot of potatoes and making what we called milk gravy. It was just a rue with salt and pepper and milk. It fed all eight of us and we loved it. We were just happy to have something to eat.

We do smothered potatoes in the Florida panhandle started on high heat in oil, brown then add a lid for them to cook from the steam, sometimes add onions. 😊

My mom and grandma made stewed potatoes alot when we were growing up and hah cornbread maybe peas or greens and no meat unless on sunday.pretty much only time we had a desert.if any one has a day though th week they got their cake the following Sunday or it might be colbler,just depends.looks good Ms lorie.just love u and mr.brown.u make cooking your recipes so easy.and so did Ms Phillips stokes if u can't learn to cook from u and Ms stokes then u just don't want to cook.🥰

Thank you Lori. I’m making both of these this week. Stick to your ribs kind a food. Thank you for your crockpot meatloaf. When you said that, I was like, oh man I need to ask her about that, and then you mentioned you were going to leave the recipe. I appreciate it. ❤️✝️🙏

I just wanted y'all to know I love your channel. So blessed I found y'all. I've started binging on the earlier videos! Thank you so much for sharing your life with us.🙏❤ Blessings to you both

That is the perfect meal for a cold day!!! 😋 Thanks for sharing. God bless you and Mr.Brown. 💕❤💕

So glad to see you are ok. Saw where there were lots of tornadoes in Arkansas. Bless you, and be safe.

I truly love the stewed apples so good, the whole meal looks wonderful

Miss Lori, We absolutely do love these recipes. Keep them coming when you get time. Much love to ya'll. S.Central MO neighbor 😉❤️

I was raised on stewed potatoes. I cannot eat black eyed peas without stewed potatoes. We thicken ours with cornmeal, not flour. My kids and grandkids all love them.

We got your storm in the middle of the night last night. I don't know what time it hit, but I know I woke up around two when the power came back on and the night light suddenly turned on after being out. According to the clock, it had been out about an hour, so I must have really been sleeping heavily. Toward morning, it come a gully washer. Our sump pump has been running all day. I wouldn't call that potato soup, but I would think it is like a stove top version of scalloped potatoes.

I love how you say "potatoes" with a 'b'. It reminds me of home. We made your meatballs for New Year's dinner, and everyone fought over the leftovers. They were so very good!

My grandmother and my aunt made these often. We called them creamed potatoes and always had them with pintos and cole slaw. Sometimes fried pies (apple) for dessert.

My mom used to fix stewed potatoes when I was a young child. Comfort food!!

Never heard of stewed potatoes up north but I have made what we call baked apples in the oven. Your dinner looks really good. I love meatloaf but we make it with mashed potatoes. Stewed potatoes must be a southern dish but they look good. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them.

I live in Conway and this is the kind of food I grew up on too. I'd rather have that any day than take out of any kind! Thank you for taking your time and sharing with us. 🇺🇸

I grew up eating creamed potatoes. In the spring my mom would put in new baby peas from the garden and a little fresh dill weed from her herb garden. So yummy!

The 1st time I saw you made those inbrought back memories and I asked my sister why do we never make that anymore? She didn't remember it it's been that long that would even be a great potluck dish view at me. I do it likeMy mom used to do it . We chopped up onion quite coarse and sautated in the bacon grease then we added the potatoes and some water and some milk otherwise fairly similar I think we may have even thickened it a little bit in the end. Absolutely one of my favorite things when I was newly married and didn't have much money had a baby and 2 borders and I used to make it quite often. mom used to call it presha borscht . I believe that was a depression soup

I love stewed potatoes when they are cooked down where the licker is thick with salt and pepper.

Oh that brings back some good memories. A good way to get apples used up add 1 or 2 prunes in them while they are stewing and it taste good and helps move things along without harsh chemicals.

It's been FOREVER since I've had fried apples (that's what we called them). Happy I have some to make. Thank you! God Bless!

Stewed potatoes was a dish of my mom’s and I have cooked them all my life. They are so good

My mom called them butter potatoes. we love them with corn bread.

I grew up eating these potatoes. My grandmother called them thickening potatoes. My mom made them with meal instead of flour and called them meal potatoes. They could get cornmeal easier than flour I think. They grew corn and had it ground at a gristmill. We are from Alabama.

Oh YUM! I think I'd like stewed potatoes. We went apple picking up to Marionville when I was a kid and Dad would always make us fried apples and sausage when we got home. It was always so good. I could almost smell your stewed apples! ❤️

That's what I grew up eating in the mountains of Tennessee! We must be cousins. Delicious food Mrs. Lori. God bless y'all!

Takes me back to my childhood in my mom's kitchen in KY, she made stewed new potatoes she always put bacon grease in them, so good, and her fried apples with biscuits, there's just nothing better. Thanks miss Lorie, enjoyed the video

This was my Daddy’s favorite potato. Sometimes if he got in from work before mom,he would make stewed potatoes. I always love a bunch of pepper in mine. I am not too fond of pepper,but love it in these. 💞💞Memories 💞💞We had a root cellar,Dad put out a huge garden and we usually had potatoes in the cellar.

I saw that supper with stewed potatoes while I was waking up this morning, which led me here. Woke up my dog with my stomach growling. I have everything I need for making this for supper tonight. thanks!🥰💕❤️👍

Looks so good, I'm definitely going to stew up some potatoes and apples! Thanks for showing us how to do it

Love it! Cooking for me is, comfort for the family. We have something similar to the stewed potatoes in Hungary , at the end we add sour cream and cook it with a bay leaf. Love you Mrs Lorri and Mr Brown!!❤️💐

I am laughing that so many people didn't now what stewed potatoes were. After you mentioned them I made them the next day. It had been ages since I had made them but they were as good as I remembered. We always had what you call stewed apples, but we called them fried apples. Always had them with pork. Thanks for the memories.

Stewed potatoes are Amazing. Those look just like my grandma used to make.

Next to butter, my favorite go to is my bacon grease jar! I can get my husband & son to eat most anything if I add bacon grease! Baked bacon makes beautiful grease too. Got a cheap strainer container for it too at Dollar Tree(well it’s the $1.25 Tree now)

We called this potato soup, because it has a lot of liquid. A vegetable cooked in a small amount of liquid is considered Stewed, where I come from. It's funny how the same food has so many names!! Dinner looks delicious!

My Gramma used to make creamed new potatoes and I absolutely loved them! Time for me to make them!! As always, another great video!! Thank you so much!!

Ty for reminding me of my grandparents long lost recipes. I will defintely put this on our dinner table again!

I just made some stewed potatoes to go with my New Year's meal of pork roast, collard greens, black eyed peas and cornbread!

I loved my grandmother's stewed potatoes, but we called them thickened potatoes. I don't know why her thickened potatoes were so much better than any I've ever cooked. I remember she almost always used red potatoes. They are just so soft and creamy. But thickened potatoes and cornbread is a fantastic meal.

We always called the potatoes creamed potatoes and then with parsley added they were parslied potatoes!Loved them. I do my apples like you do but add more butter brown sugar and cinnamon with a little flour mixed with the brown sugar, that way it won't clump on me..we love them. Good Eatin" ~ Thanks for sharing with us! Terri

Love your recipes! We had meals just like this when I was a kid! We had potatoes almost everyday! Mom would put just a sprinkle of parsley in her stewed Potatoes!

I had the same question about those potatoes............... after thinking, "My, my you folks eat Soooo good!" TY Ms Lori. You work all day and then put on this kind of a spread ( like the one last week with the pork chops, peas & carrots and potatoes...)

Everything looks so good. Just watching you makes it feel like I can feel the warmth in the kitchen. Thank you!

I have a friend from Louisiana who calls this Potato stew but she used the drippings and browning from frying up some Smoked sausage links like Ekrich or Hillshire farms and season according to liking and can thicken or not. It was fabulous!❤️
