This is a recipe for potatoes and gravy originally cooked by camp cooks during roundups and cattle drives. It’s my Dad’s recipe from the 1920’s.
Heat vegetable oil in large heavy skillet. While oil is heating, peel and slice potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. Brown potatoes in oil. Potatoes do not have to be completely done…just browned.
When potatoes are browned, remove from skillet and drain all but 2 Tablespoons of oil. Saute finely chopped onion and garlic until they soften a bit and then add potatoes back to skillet. Salt and pepper to taste and cover potatoes in whole milk. Stir well and cook over medium heat approximately 30 to 45 minutes. As the milk and potatoes simmer, you will see the milk turn into your gravy. Watch and stir often so the gravy does not stick to bottom of pan. Additional milk may need to be added to thin your gravy.

Holy Smokes! This sounds wonderful! I wish I had run across this recipe before I cooked the potatoes for tonight’s dinner. We may have to have potatoes tomorrow as well so I can try this recipe.
