Ingredients:
7 peeled and cubed potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
1 pinch onion flakes
2 tablespoons flour
½ cup milk
½ cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons bacon grease (optional)
PREPARATION:
1. Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a pot. Fill the pot with water until it’s about 2 inches above the potatoes.
2. Bring the water to a boil. Cook the potatoes until they’re fork-tender but not falling apart. Reduce the heat to low.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and half a cup of water until the flour dissolves.
4. Gradually add the dissolved flour mixture to the pot with the potatoes, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer briefly to thicken. Adjust the thickness by adding more flour for thickness or more water for a thinner consistency
. Season the mixture with milk, salt, pepper, onion flakes, and butter or bacon grease (optional) to taste.
