I just discovered my 5 lb bag of potatoes that I bought a couple of weeks ago and hid in a cool, dark spot. I need to cook them all before they go bad. Those bags of potatoes always seem like a good idea when I get them. Help!

Please send me your yummy potato recipes!

Simple potato soup

This is what my mom would make when we didn't have much laying around the house. It makes a thin potato soup that is great for lunch and it even reheats well.

Cut 2-3 potatoes into bite-sized pieces (I usually remove the skins) and chop half a small onion. Place potatoes and onion in a saucepan and cover completely with water. Bring water to a boil and cook until potatoes are very tender. Turn heat to low and add about 1/2 cup of milk and a tablespoon or two of butter. Heat until warm throughout, add a generous portion of salt and some pepper and enjoy!

If you wanted a thicker soup, you could always process some of the potatoes at the end.

I'm not positive about how much milk I usually add, it's more of a "add until the soup takes on a nice creamy color" kind of thing. So if it looks kinda thin, add some more milk.
