I work in a nursing home. One of my residents told me how to make this. Whenever I made it,I would bring her a bowl. God bless her soul, I always think of her when I make it. To slice potatoes and onion, I use a salad shooter.
Ingredients:
6 potatoes (sliced)
1 onion
1 pint half-and-half
6 slices american cheese
1 tablespoon butter
black pepper
Directions:
1. Peel potatoes and slice and put in 4 qt kettle.
2. Add sliced onion.
3. Add just enough water to cover, boil till potatoes are tender.
4. Sometimes I have to ladle some water off after boiling (BUT DO NOT DRAIN WATER).
5. Add butter and cheese.
6. Stir to break-up potatoes.
7. Add milk and pepper.
8. Simmer 10 minutes.
9. Serve and add your own salt.
10. Good with crusty bread or toast.
11. Sometimes I sauté celery and onions, add carrots, garlic, chicken broth, ham, bacon or use evaporated milk. Use different potatoes for a change. ENJOY!
