The cooler nights inspired Sher-bear to ask for potato soup. Really easy. 

I bake them on the egg, heavy smoke and cool. I've started removing the skin but if you don't.. Try egging the bacon on a raised rack above the taters. 

Ci do... Add stick of butter, 2/3 apf, stir while slowly adding 7 cups of milk. I've used every kind and even a little half & half. Add the potatoes, handful of green onion, bacon, s&p,.. 
Once it thickens a little add 8oz of sour cream and 2 cups of cheese. I use sharp cheddar. 
I added chopped keibasa this time. 

If you'd like to use as a side dish or over some cornbread merely thicken the soup to a gravy consistency.

    Man that sounds good!

    You don't have to tell me twice.  


    Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.

    We are soup Nazis most of the cooler parts of the year.  Gumbo, oyster stew, potato, you name it.  But give us any grief: "do you...do you have any...gumbo file, sir?"  A:  NO SOUP FOR YOU!

    Sounds really great!  Can't wait until cooler weather arrives in KS so I can give it a try.

    @henapple Wow that is some great potato soup Tony. Brother, no BS, you do have skills.

    But what is it with the bottled water, did you run out of PBR?

    If you are in "Full View", simply touch the star off to the side of the thread title. It will turn yellow. To un bookmark it, simply touch it again. See the pic below, I book marked Antons post to demonstrate. See how the star is yellow.

    Looks like a slam dunk to me Uncle Apple. Great cook. I'm starting to think that you are one of the Potato Gods ;)

    If you are asking about finding your bookmarks, once you bookmark something, the icon "Bookmarks" will appear off to the right under where you see New Discussion. If you do not have anything bookmarked, it will not be there.

    The first pic I do not have anything bookmarked. Hence the icon missing. The second pic I bookmarked Uncle Apples thread, notice under New Discussion that you now see the Bookmark icon.

    To be honest, there have been numerous posts that I wish I would have bookmarked. But I just don't ever think to do it. Getting old and forgetful my friend.
