  3. Place the onions in the pot.
  4. Cover potatoes and onions with water.

Notes

  • Turn these leftover potatoes into soup by placing leftovers into a pot, and adding just enough milk to cover the potatoes.
  • Need your potatoes done more quickly? Cut them into smaller pieces, they will cook faster that way.
  • Want some variety? Add some thinly sliced green onions with the parsley for an extra layer of flavor.
