  • 2 pounds Russet potatoes, rinsed, peeled and cubed

  • 1 tsp garlic powder, optional

  • First, add diced onion and 1 tablespoon butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes or until onions are softened.
  • Remove onions to a plate. Add diced potatoes to pan. Add enough water to cover potatoes.
