Ingredients
- 8 peeled potatoes
- 1/2 diced yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh garlic
- 1/2 cup bacon bits (optional)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper to your preference
- 1 can evaporated milk
- 1 quart small curd cottage cheese
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes lengthwise into quarters.
Then, dice them into approximately 1/4 inch thick chunks.
Set the diced potatoes aside for later use.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add garlic, onion, bacon bits (if you’re using them), a pinch of salt, and pepper to the pot.
Sauté the mixture until the onions are tender and translucent, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
Step 3: Cook the Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes to the pot with the sautéed aromatics.
Pour enough water into the pot to cover the potatoes.
Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil.
Cook until the potatoes are soft, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Step 4: Add Dairy and Finish the Soup
Once the potatoes are soft, reduce the heat to medium and add the evaporated milk and cottage cheese to the pot.
Stir the mixture continuously until the cottage cheese is dissolved or barely visible in the soup.
This will make the soup creamy and rich.
Step 5: Serve and Garnish
Serve the soup hot, accompanied by your favorite crackers or bread.
Optionally, garnish each bowl with additional bacon bits and sliced scallions to enhance the flavor and presentation.
