Ingredients
- Potatoes (russet potatoes recommended)
- Onion
- Butter
- Milk or heavy cream
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Sauté the diced onion in half of the butter for 3–4 minutes until soft and fragrant.
- Add the diced potatoes and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
- Drain most of the water, leaving about 1/2 inch in the pot. Add remaining butter and milk or cream.
- Mash with a potato masher for a chunky texture or blend with an immersion blender for a smooth soup.
- Simmer for 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper, stir, and serve warm.
Notes
Cut potatoes evenly for consistent cooking. Add milk gradually to control thickness and adjust seasoning to taste.
