Ingredients

  • 6 medium-sized potatoes, about 2 1/2 lb., peeled
  • 1 medium-sized onion, peeled
  • 4 large cloves garlic, peeled
  • 4 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 1 c. small soup pasta (flakes, egg barley, tiny macaroni, etc.)
  • 2 c. (by volume) sour cream
  • water

Method

  • Cut potatoes into pieces, about 12 to 16 per potato; slice garlic finely widthwise.
  • Place both, with onion (whole), salt, pepper and enough water to completely cover potatoes in a soup pot. Bring to a boil on high heat, reduce to a simmer and cook, covered, about 10 minutes or less, until potatoes are beginning to be tender, but still resist a fork slightly.
  • Add pasta, stir, cover and continue cooking until pasta and potatoes are both tender, but not mushy, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove and discard onion.
  • Add sour cream all at once and stir thoroughly as it heats; be careful not to break up the potatoes.
  • Taste and correct seasonings and serve when hot through, but not boiling.
  • Serves 4. Total preparation time:
  • 40 minutes.
