"This is a super simple potato dish that came from my husband's family. He says there has never been an Aunt Sophie in the family, but this dish was a family favorite. I never measure what I put into it, but it is so simple, it would be hard to mess up. Prep time includes peeling the potatoes and sweating the onions, but not necessarily boiling the potatoes. Note: I find it easier to peel the potatoes after boiling them - the skins come right off when you rub them with your hands."
