Steamed Potatoes with Onions

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 kg potatoes
• 1 soup plate onions
• butter (a little)
• salt (a little)
• pepper (a little)
• water (a little)

Instructions

1. Use very small potatoes of the same size, peel them, and wash them thoroughly.
2. For 1 kg of potatoes, allow about a plate full of peeled, sliced onions.
3. Layer both in a pot with plenty of butter, salt, and a little pepper.
4. Add enough water so that the potatoes are not quite covered, and cook, tightly covered, until tender.
