Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 or 6 large white potatoes
1/4 c onion, chopped fine
3 Tbsp butter
4 c whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Peel potatoes and cut into bite-size cubes. Peel and chop onion; place both in a large saucepan of boiling salted water. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 15-20 minutes or until potatoes and onions are tender.
  • 2. Drain potatoes and onions into a colander; set aside. In the saucepan, melt the butter and add the salt and pepper. Pour in milk and heat on medium-low setting until heated through; do not boil. Add the potatoes and onions back in and let simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes on low heat.
  • 3. I like to eat it with cheese and crackers on the side. Also goes great with a grilled cheese sandwich!
