True Southern Stewed Potatoes Not Potatoe Soup Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Cook 4-6 slices of bacon for the grease. In a med. cooking pot fill half way with cold water, peel and cut potatoes into large cubes (alittle larger than you would if you were making mashed potatoes). Put potatoes in the pot of cold water as you cut them up so they don't start turning brown.
• 2. After you have peeled, cubed and put potatoes in pot of water, the water should only cover the potatoes a couple of inches i do about 3 because my family loves the thick "gravy/juices". Turn stove on high, bring to a boil. Boil for about 10 mins. add bacon grease, butter, salt, pepper. onion flakes, cumin and garlic powder.
• 3. in a small bowl or mixing cup mix milk and flour with a wisk, until the flour is fully dissolved and their are no lumps. When the potatoes start to become tender slowly start to add the milk/flour mixture, stir carefully as you do this, turn heat down to low and let simmer until desired thickness. Now taste and add more salt and pepper to taste.
• 4. You can adjust this recipe to your liking, my family likes it thick but not too thick.........here are some pictures.

Steps:

• In a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the bacon (if using) until crisp, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate or cutting board. Return the pot with just 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat to the stove. (If there's not enough fat, supplement with butter to total 3 tablespoons.) If making the soup vegetarian, melt butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
• Over medium-low heat, sauté the white parts of the scallions and the garlic until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently and adjusting the heat as necessary to avoid burning the garlic. Add the potatoes, milk and 2 teaspoons salt, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat (resist the urge to heat it faster as this can lead to curdling). Once at a boil, lower the heat and simmer covered until the potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• As soup simmers, prepare the potato skins: Warm the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Working in batches if needed, add the potato peels in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until crisp and golden-brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate or cutting board, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, cayenne and garlic powder. Crumble and set aside.
• Once the potatoes are tender, take the pot off the heat, and purée the mixture with an immersion blender if you'd like a smooth soup. (Mash with a potato masher if you'd like a chunkier soup.) Stir in the sour cream and cheese until combined, then season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with crumbled bacon, more sour cream and Cheddar and the green parts of the scallions. Top with potato peels (eat any extra as chips, dipped in ketchup and mustard).

Steps:

• 1. Peel and cube potatoes, put in a medium pot and fill with water until it's about 3 inches above potatoes, bring to a boil, you want the potatoes cooked to they are just fork tender, not falling apart. After the potatoes are done keep them in the same water you cooked them in,.
• 2. in a jar or container that has a tight lid put the flour and half cup of water in it and shake it until the flour is COMPLETELY dissolved,.
• 3. stirring constantly but carefully add the dissolved flour and water into the pot with the potatoes and water allow a few minutes to cook on simmer so that it can thicken. If you want it thicker then you can add more flour, if you want it thinner you can just add a little more water.
• 4. Now is when you want to season to taste with your salt and pepper and the rest of the spices i listed, or you can just season them with salt and pepper either way they are WONDERFUL,.
