Categories Potato

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 -8 large potatoes (peeled and cubed, about 1-inch cubes)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons bacon grease (i save my bacon grease, but if you need to cook 3 pieces)
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch garlic powder
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons butter

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,.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

6-8 large potatoes (i like red ones that come in a bag in produce)
2 Tbsp bacon grease
3 Tbsp butter
3/4 c milk
2 1/4 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 Tbsp dried onion flakes
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch cumin powder
salt and pepper (to taste)
4-5 slice of bacon for the grease

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.
