Suri’s personal favourite, although no-one else ever seems too fond of it. The recipe was her grandmother’s. The flavour is much improved if it’s made a day in advance, and then left to sit overnight.<\/p>\n
3 large baking potatoes
\n1 large white onion
\n1 stick butter
\nwater
\n3 cups milk
\ncelery salt<\/p>\n
1. Peel and cut the potatoes into half-inch chunks. Chop the onion coarsely.<\/p>\n
2. Put the potatoes and onion into a pot with just enough water to cover them. Salt them rather heavily with celery salt.<\/p>\n
3. Boil uncovered until the potatoes are cooked (about ten minutes or so). The water should be turning thick and sort of starchy, and losing volume.<\/p>\n
4. Using a ladle, mash the potatoes partway. Don’t do a terribly thorough job – you want some chunks left.<\/p>\n
5. Add the milk and butter, and stir it all up. Heat the soup until the butter has all melted. Be careful not to overheat or you’ll scorch the milk.<\/p>\n
6. Best served with a little pat of butter melting in it, and s’more celery salt (or celery seed).<\/p>\n
