Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 cups diced potatoes (about five medium)
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
3 cups water
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
Ground black pepper
Assorted toppings such as cheddar cheese (butter, green onions, chives, and/or bacon)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the potatoes, onion, celery and water. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and keep it at a simmer. Simmer uncovered 20 - 30 minutes, until the potatoes mash easily.
  • Carefully press a potato masher through the soup until most of the potatoes are broken up.
  • Add the sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and black pepper. Return the soup to a simmer and cook for about five minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve with cheddar cheese, butter, green onions, chives, bacon, and any other favorite baked potato toppings.
