4 potatoes
1 qt. milk (4 c.)
1/2 to 1 diced onion
4 tbsp. margarine
1 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. (heaping) flour
Dash of pepper
Cut potatoes into small pieces and cook in salted water, with the onion. In a heavy pan melt the margarine over low heat. Stir in flour and cook until bubbly. Slowly add half of the milk. Add hot, cooked potatoes and onion mixture. Use an "old-timers" potato masher to break up potatoes a little bit. Add the rest of the milk and the salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until hot. If it is not thick enough, shake 1 tablespoon of flour with 1/2 cup cold milk and add to the soup, stir frequently, garnish with a sprinkle of dried parsley. MMMM - Good! Serves 4. The guys love it! Serve with crackers and butter.
