Potato Soup



By: Lori


Ingredients

3 lb of your favorite potatoes
1 large sweet yellow onion
Salt & Pepper
Garlic Powder
Dill weed


Directions
  1. Peel potatoes
  2. Rinse potatoes and cut into around 1/2" cubes
  3. Place potatoes in a pot and add just enough water to cover, turn burner on high
  4. While the water is heating, mince onion and put 1/2 to 3/4 of the onion into the pot
  5. After about 10 minutes of boiling, and the water will get thick.
  6. While the potatoes and onions are cooking, add a bunch of salt- potatoes take it out, so it takes quite a bit for flavoring- plus pepper and garlic powder and dill weed.
  7. Once the potatoes are fork tender (like if you were going to mash them), add half and half (whole milk works too) until it's as soupy as you like.
  8. Enjoy
