(2 tablespoons, if desired) bacon fat
Instructions:
In a saucepan, add the potatoes that have been peeled and diced. The water level in the pot should be about 2 inches higher than the potatoes.
Second, boil the water. The potatoes should be fork-tender yet firm to the bite. Lower the heat to a low setting.
3. Dissolve the flour in half a cup of water by whisking the two ingredients in a separate basin.
Toss the potatoes and flour combination into the saucepan and stir frequently as you gradually add the dissolved flour mixture. Simmer for a few minutes to thicken. If you want it thicker, add more flour; if you want it thinner, use more water.
5. If desired, add optional bacon fat or butter and season with salt, pepper, onion flakes, and milk. 6. Stir to combine.
To round up a great Southern lunch, try some cornbread, collard greens, or a crisp salad with the hearty and savory stewed potatoes. Gatherings call for this meal, and it also makes a wonderful side to go with your favorite entree.
