Cowboy Potatoes

Butter
Onion
Potatoes
Salt, pepper, garlic

Using a heavy pot, melt a stick of butter in the pot. Chop up an onion and saute it in the butter while you are prepping the potatoes. Peel and slice your potatoes fairly thin. Add them to the onions, season with a good amount of salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.

Turn to coat all potatoes with the butter and onion mixture. Cover with lid and cook on med/low until tender. You can turn the potatoes a couple of times during cooking if you think the bottom is getting too brown. Allow a good 45 minutes for the potatoes to cook.

This is a recipe my Grandma Farrell always made for big family dinners. I remember it most from the cabin in Prescott. I think I will always remember the pot she cooked them in.
