from PePaw
1 qt chicken broth
3 med size potatoes, peeled and cubed
1/2 onion, cubed
6-8 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
salt to taste
Bring broth to boil. Add potatoes, onion and garlic. After full boil, turn down to low for 1-2 hours (until the potatoes are all mushy). PePaw says, "The secret is to cook it slow" :) Cover with lid so liquid doesn't all boil away.
I remember PePaw making this in his small sauce pan at the house in Ovilla. He never put the garlic in it until Mommy told him how good garlic was for him. PePaw used to make this for Gran Gran when she wouldn't eat anything else. Gran Gran would eat if I fed her but not if her caregivers tried to get her to eat. I know that she knew that I loved her very much even when she was unable to communicate with us. We are so blessed to have such an incredible legacy in our lives. PePaw and Gran Gran were two very incredibly special people and I miss them very much!
Love Always,
Mommy
