Swedish Creamed Potatoes from Skane (Skansk Potatis) image

Swedish potatoes from a cookbook from my Swedish neighbor, Millie. These are awesome but a heart attack waiting to happen! LOL. In order to have bacon drippings I sometimes fry the bacon crisp and then crumble it over the top of the potatoes as we like the extra crunch on top of the creamy potatoes.

1 large onion, chopped
1/4 cup bacon drippings
4 cups cubed raw potatoes (about 6 medium)
1 cup milk
3/4-1 cup cream
