4 medium OR 2 large russet potatoes, peeled
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
1 tbs fresh minced onion
2 tbs sour cream
dash garlic powder
1/4 cup french’s french fried onions

slice the potatoes into 1″ cubes and boil in 6 cups of salted water for 15-20 minutes or until soft and tender.

drain off the water and use a fork or potato masher to mash the potatoes. stop mashing when there are still some chunks of potatoes left. it’s the chunky consistency that makes these potatoes unique.

immediately add the remaining ingredients, excluding the fried onions, to the pan and put it back over low heat. reheat the potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring to mix in the other ingredients.

serve the potatoes with a sprinkling of about 1 tbs of fried onions on top of each serving.
