POG Soup

No, not little cardboard milk cap things.

6 Potatoes (I used russets, but you could use pretty much any type)

1 Sweet Onion

5 Cloves of Garlic

Water to cover potatoes

Tablespoon of butter.

Peel and dice the potatoes. Add enough water to cover and boil until tender. Drain, reserving the potato water.

While the potatoes are cooking, finely dice the onion.

In the potato pot ... throw in the butter, use more if you think it needs it, add the diced onion, stirring frequently until caramelized.

While the onion is cooking,

Peel and dice 5 cloves of garlic. When the onions are just about done, add the garlic. Let that cook a bit and return 1/2 to 2/3 of the potatoes, depending on how chunky you want it to be at the finish.

Let that heat up a bit, and then mush it all together ... do it however you like, handmasher, mixer, or throw it all in a food processor if you want to have to clean up more stuff.

Add the potato water back in until you get the consistency you want.

Pour in the rest of the potatoes.

Fantastic on it's own, mindblowing with a handful of cheese thrown into it.
