My mom served a lot of gravy bread. Neighbors put gravy on crushed crackers, called it Yankee potpie. Pap liked his gravy over biscuits but mom never made biscuits.
Mom made slippery potpie in ham broth and potatoes. Husband's grandmother made slippery potpie using butterbeans. Slippery potpie, fried potatoes and occasionally salmon cakes were Sunday dinner at her house. Every special occasion she made a raisin cake which I think is like the war cake. No one got any recipes from her before she died. Always made her bread from a recipe in her head.
Potato cakes from left over mashed potatoes. I would only eat the soft center out of it.
